Brightest One

This is how I look at the stars: with a heartbeat I look closely, my soul basks in every tiny light that is so far but can set the fire of my emotion, like every inch of my visceral skin is scalded. I look at the stars for that is how I can only have you; the sky is just your whole and every piece of you is a twinkling beauty. I grew up staring at the stars not knowing which one was the brightest until I saw you that all the stars I look at now are the brightest because looking at one is also seeing you. But when the time comes that we'd share the same night sky, we'd be watching these stars and everything will be different. I will not be looking at them anymore for you will steal my eyes and in silence I shall be calling you my brightest one.

Nicola,,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Hello, this is very heartwarming, I am honestly overwhelmed by the kindness of people here. I never felt home in every other online writing community like what I feel here,been always reading poems on Poetry Soup and didn't expect that one day it will lead me to wonderful people. Thank you so much for the encouragement, well I'm a passionate soul and dedicates my life to writing, I believe it's been with me growing up being a constant loner [but not a bad thing at all] I will surely do drop by to read your works, it's a good thing to be inspired by other poets. I am so blessed to have you all. Much love,Nicola
