Full of Empty

Listen to poem:

Between the beat of a broken heart, Lie lonely light-years far apart… Within my head an empty room, Four cosmic corners in their bloom… My screaming soul an empty space, Edematous eyes with a faceless face… My love echoing expands in the verse, Losing ground as the infinities immerse… A fading fall into obtuse oblivion, Stars of solitude in their billion… Daughters of desire behind their veil, Tangible tears in their sinusoidal sail… Illusions idol amidst the Dragons lair, As the empty voids turn back to stare… Sweet sleep subdue my burning flame, Longing love thru whispers of your name.

Well, Light Angel, I've read your past five poems, so far. This one slices the heart. I'm digging the last four lines, "Illusions idol amidst the Dragons lair, As the empty voids turn back to stare… Sweet sleep subdue my burning flame, Longing love thru whispers of your name"...in those four lines alone, an entire story waits to be expanded. Leanne. In any event, good luck with your entry into 'competition' and best moves forward with all your creative projects 2020. x

WW, you are a marvelous master of alliterative assonance (see what I did there?) Perhaps that's why are Winged Warrior? Beautiful write, my friend. I even learned a new word (Edematous), though I don't see myself using it in a poem anytime soon. I love the contradiction within the title and the overall sense of loss and loneliness. Well done and congrats ~ John

Oh now you've done it...awakened my romantic soul. Those last two lines could stand alone as a couplet, yearning for love. If only in dreams could a heart find peace, then allow sweet sleep to ease the heartache. Sooo well written, J.
