Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

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.

Judy Ball November 30, 2018 at 2:19 PM 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 Kim Rodrigues November 30, 2018 at 2:21 PM Thanks so much, Judy!
