A GALAXY ERASED

Galaxy, heart, erase, gaze, cold, tender

A swirling galaxy of thought,
Where feelings bloom and then are caught.

My heart, a fragile, beating thing,
Can soar on hope, or sharply sting.

A wish to erase the memory's sting,
Of words like ice, a frozen spring.

Your lingering gaze, a distant star,
Both near and infinitely far.

A touch so tender, soft and light,
Against the encroaching, endless night.

Then sudden cold, a chilling breeze,
Rustling through the silent trees.

Oops... you forgot to title your poem National Poetry Month... but I loved your poem so I made an exception. The Poetry is what matters most to me not the rules...especially this minute of a detail. Thank you for entering such a lovely piece! Xo
