Francis J Grasso Poet Couplet

Blazing Star

Beyond the night I see a light that shines from a distant shore.
A light so bright across this black night that I cannot ignore.

A blazing star so far away that sends a sweet dream to me.
Beyond this night I feel the fire that burns incessantly.

Across tempest waters rife with fear she calls to me - come yonder.
With trembling lips I try to speak - my spirit stills, to ponder.

My eyes now closed to darkness, as my voice screams back her name.
My spirit weeps for what I must leave, my heart for all its gain.

Andrea Dietrich July 12, 2016 at 9:21 AM you are like me (in response to what you said down here to me). I often do not know how a poem will end up either.

Andrea Dietrich July 8, 2016 at 6:15 PM Sad one, but beautiful poem. Francis J Grasso July 11, 2016 at 8:55 PM Thanks, Andrea. I had the first line in my head for a while before the rest finally came out. Many times I don't have a clue where that first line will lead me. Sometimes I will finish and the poem will be completely different from what I imagined. But this write is where I did want to go.
