Eclipse of the Heart

Quoting: Veritia Venandi "Eternal light shines through darkest eclipse " When the heart breaks down and darkness wraps the soul like a shawl made of wool with web like little aching holes We long for the break of dawn to arrive and for stars to leave behind their itsy bitsy spark of light When we have been devoured by deception lied and left to be discarded , the only thing that blesses is the morning with her absolvent light ; For what crime does a heart do when all it does is love to the point of no return, what heart can stand the test of time once cracked in two? It needs the tenacity of eternal light, even through the darkest of eclipse, it needs a fighting chance, to cleave the night.

So beautiful, I like 'little aching holes' and 'itsy bitsy spark of light' - so much hope found in 'the tenacity of eternal light'!

Pixie Dust, you express human fragile feelings so beautifully, my love. A beautiful journey, bitter-sweet similees, stunning limited letter pallette throughout. This is a top poem, I can read it extensively, has plenty of juice.
