Even if seasons imitate

by Poet on the Piano   Mar 8, 2011


You may question the motives
of the hanging sun
giving birth to her bright sword,
because it will either scorch you
with luster,
or imprint a rose of fire.

You may be stern toward the stars,
whose light are they carrying
and what weight are they trailing?
The answer lies behind their
devotion to twilight dust.

You may chase the truth
down every whimsical notion
until life's existence fails,
and you believe breaths
to be subtle dreams.

But hear my stressed voice
vivid at all times;
never try to catch this memory
or test its colors against weak wind,
for my love does not falter
unwilling to leave you hesitating.

Once more you are breathless,
bound by the meaning I speak to you,
moving in unknown ways as a true gem
of what light is in a soul's core.

Author notes:

Inspired by: Prompt 1.
"Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love."
By William Shakespeare.

    You had a really great opening and then I kind of lost the flow at 'whose' in the second stanza, I felt like you trailed off to something completely different there. So perhaps you'll want to look over that?

    Truly a beautiful write though, I love the quote, it reflects so nicely within your words. Sometimes you cant doubt the love you have for someone.

    Thissssssss is amazing! Ok i Seriously could NOT do what you have done...Especially because I don't understand Shakespeare. But honestly, this was just amazing. If I left you a long comment it would just keep repeating "this is incredible", so I'm sure you get my point!

    But hear my stressed voice
    vivid at all times;
    never try to catch this memory
    or test its colors against weak wind,
    for my love does not falter
    unwilling to leave you hesitating.

    ^^ So powerfully stated. My favorite stanza!
    A job well done! You really broke down what W.S. said :)
