The eternal deed

The eternal deed

I shot the stars one by one
And emptied all the sky
Then after what I had done
With pride i did lie

I lay and slept in my bed
And saw in my dreams
The sun turning into red
And shedding a white stream

The stream then came next to me
And near my chest did flow
And all the stars i have killed
Into that stream i saw

    Let me first thank you for your comment.
    . secondly,,
    Well, by the stars i mean, the goods and the good people in life.
    By shooting them, i meant i followed my desires and dreams regardless of all the good i damaged.
    I haved consumed them all. And when i slept, the brightest good ever, got angry with me... And sent me all the killed goods and the injured people, to me, to make me suffer with guilt ...

    Shooting the stars, something I did not expect. I would have liked perhaps to know or understand more of why, I see this in the dark/horror/fantasy category so that intrigued me. Are you emptying the sky out of jealousy, to have the white stream of the star's light next to you, more tangible, at least in your dreams? Or to see the death of stars so you could sleep?

    Keep posting, I don't always comment, but have enjoyed reading your work.
