Last Star

LAST STAR Death knell at night, Laid out in illusory beauty — My world out of sight. Heaven’s clean and transparent. The mesmerizing snow melts red — Carry me away O Knight-Errant! But alas I’m all alone in life, Amidst the creatures of the night — The beast wielding his hunter’s knife. My eyes long to see you once more! In my repetitive dreams of shallow breath, I draw you to the warmest cling of my core. My eyes blinking, salty tears stinging — I feel you are within arm’s reach yet late. Darling, the death knell is swelling, sore ringing! Kiss my forehead, Sweetheart! Love me from afar! Oh, look with me. See what I see! As I close my eyes...there…the last star. 11/30/2018 Silent One’s The Last...Poetry Contest

WoW! It has the feeling of someone being slain in a forest glade. Perhaps she went there to meet her lover and was found by someone else. A very sad piece. Well written and well express it's a sure winner in my book. God Bless and good luck in the contest. JB
