Silent One
Simple Musings
15 July 2017

Like an interrupted dream shadows of the one who inspired it linger like morning dew. No aroma and no taste, yet I'm left breathless, as thoughts reminisce. I listen to this tired heart, as one deep breath results in a thousand sighs and I don't want to be found, but yearn to understand why I feel like a million crumpled stars, silently sprinkled like paint drops protecting the moon, feeling like glue holding the universe together and who am I to disturb it? Her beauty was a merited gift. Her departure unnecessary. Her lips without speaking could rewrite history and I wonder can she hear these sighs? Her call is the one I want to answer for eternity. To speak until no words remain. Give until there is nothing - submitting to her submission is life's greatest victory. Twilight aurora, night flower of this heart, you shine in emerald velvet hues in shades of scarlet. Like a rainbow, your presence brightened the horizons. but just like the stars you disappeared with daylight - your absence leaving behind blackness.

Dear Silent One, this exquisite poem, so soulfully expressed and wistfully worded was a spectacular choice for the contest, also your first poem posted upon your return, which was also the first day I joined this site and publicly posted a poem for the first time. As always, this poem is deep, rich and mesmerizing with priceless verses of poetic artistry and moving emotions! Congratulations for your excellent win in Brian's contest. Warmest wishes for a happy new year, my dear friend.. ~Susan

Twilight Arora felt the sighs of her crumpling stars in the velvety darkness Disappearing in the dawn to cry bitter tears Though she shielded herself by the darkness In the light she’d feel them for years... ... for your stars... beautiful beautiful poetry, thank you (:

?????????? So beautiful I want to quote a favorite line but they are all so good. Most of my tears are emotion bought about by your poem. Only one is jealousy
