Notes About The Poem

Silence of the Stars

Mandolin melodies harmonised horizons, yet the only strings being strummed were those of my heart. In the midst of enchanting melodies, where nothing else mattered, but her, we wandered barefoot, hand in hand, as the tenderness of our steps decorated the sand. In the simplicity of pure beauty, lost in a moment of perfection. We lay admiring the heavens, watching daylight drift away. The jealous golden orb silently sank, as colourful skies summoned illuminated expressions to light up a black and white world. In darkness we lay and gazed lost in the silent serenity of the stars, until the tranquillity of her sequin eyes hypnotised my soul and I danced devoted to the magnificence of her delicate elegance. The whisper of sweet sentiments revealed our secret serenade. In the distance an orchestra of humming birds hummed the chorus of our passionate song. Her arms like celestial wings, embraced me close. Her surreal kiss guided my lips home. As waves washed away our footsteps, the moon closed its eyes, as millions of shy stars hid behind a blanket of nocturnal clouds.

A starry nights tale full of lovely wonderment. I loved the fourth stanza and the feeling I poetically felt when read was one that took my mind into a better place. I am in love with the way you used personification in places where describing the object brings it to life. A beautiful romantic write!

A romantic masterpiece by the Romance maestro ... passion supreme poetry, SO! Great lines throughout ... we wandered barefoot, hand in hand, as the tenderness of our steps decorated the sand. Beautiful poetic expressions fluted by your lyrical pen. Such a bejeweled prose offering. Pure poetry. Love and joy always.

Cont/.... So I'm just left to admire this mesmeric eloquent poem. And as a bird lover, my strings were pulled by the creative mention of humming birds. I have unposted poems where I refer to birdsong orchestra so I like how u too find it so. Kudos fav poet.

The title drew me in too, so charmingly poetic. By the way I could never write like this unless it really happened to me, that is I can never write such awesome romantic things out of the imagination. So wonder if u could tell us if Al this really happened as u describe so poetically and marvellously or u wud be the silent one imagining things. I don't know but sleeping under the stars in this modern so called progressed world is no longer possible.

It is difficult to find words to describe the brilliance in your writing Silent One! This is another beautiful story of romance where I am swept away in the emotion of your pen. And you have a talent for selecting the perfect musical accompaniment to match the mood of your creation. Yes ... definitely another favorite for me !!!
