Sarah Casey Poet Free verse

Spaceship

CRASH-
landing in a midnight sea-
this empty planet
so far from me
patience awaits
but frustration merges-
an alien
extra-terrestrial so familiar to me
I get close
close enough
shot me with your stun gun
spaceship going down
air dissipates
one final blink
ship off course- glimpse of the moon
now I'm a twinkling
the star you can't take your eye off
the star that should have been

Poet Tacito March 24, 2014 at 11:49 PM This SCREAMS relationship loss. But, I could be wrong. Either way, this hit so hard. "The star that should have been"...indeed!
