Falling Stars

by xLeftxBehindx   Feb 7, 2009


Sky so blue swallowing us up in it's darkness
Ocean so deep reaching less every time the waves roll

The cool breeze dancing in my hair
Brushing against my skin like it is holding my chin

You brush your light hand along my cheek like the wind
push it up lightly for me to look in your deep blue eyes

Your soft lips calmly touch mine
Surroundings become a blur

Stars are falling like light rain
All around us the dim lights fall

Never seeming to touch the earth's surface
Faint tiny specks of light consume us together

We open our eyes again to find that nothing has changed
Summer's night is still and idle

Waves now even farther away
We lay back down together to look up at the stars once more

    ^^I adore these opening lines, the imagery is incredibly detailed which pulls me into the poem, however I don't think you need as many fillers, it works just as well without, maybe:

    TSky so blue swallowing us up in it's darkness
    Ocean so deep reaching less every time the waves roll

    Cool breeze dancing in my hair
    Brushing against my skin like it is holding my chin

    "You brush your light hand along my cheek like the wind
    push it up lightly for me to look in your deep blue eyes

    Your soft lips calmly touch mine
    The surroundings become a blur"

    ^^Again I think it would flow better without so many fillers, maybe

    Brushing your light hand along my cheek like the wind
    push it up lightly for me to look in your deep blue eyes

    Soft lips calmly touching mine
    surroundings become a blur

    That being said, I adore the emotion and depth within these lines.

    "The stars are falling like light rain
    All around us the dim lights fall

    Never seeming to touch the earth's surface
    The tiny faint specks of light consume us together"

    ^^Again, I don't think there's any need for the fillers, maybe

    Stars are falling like light rain
    All around us dim lights fall

    Never seeming to touch earth's surface
    Tiny faint specks of light consume us together

    Love the last line, incredibly beautiful and filled with so much passion.
    "We open our eyes again to find that nothing has changed

    ^^What a truly beautiful closing to this piece, the imagery is beautiful, creates such vivid pictures in my mind and the passion and emotion is beautifully and elegantly written.
