Swinging Stars

What
is the
neon mauve
moon without trails
of twinkling twilight stars that swing in skies?
Perhaps, memories are just fluorescent
leaves that sing in
lifeline-ink
of the
past,
stained
with pearl-
pastels of
present seconds, 
pulsating heartbeats without 'You and I'.

Good Morning Hiya. Hi. Format aside this entry is very poetic in word choices theme voice and tone. It is one that should be read out loud with emphasis and feeling. I found this to read and hear in the most vintage and truest poetic fashion. Thank you for sharing your poetic skill. It was a pleasure turning to your page. Have a wonderful weekend. Peace Blessings and Light always. (smile) PS your title is magnificent and never did you stray...

Aloha, Hiya. The use of idyllic words that are interspersed throughout your Tetractys form, highlights the natural essence of your conveyance. They are truly pleasant, 'mauve moon without trails' and 'past, stained with pearl-pastels of present', nicely done. Aloha, William

Hiya, you are indeed so gifted at a young age. I am sure you will reach the acme of poetic success in no time. There is so much depth in your poems . This poem stands apart in the choice of words to express a single thought. "Past leaves umpteen memories in us. memories are just fluorescent leaves that sing in lifeline-ink of the past".... ! Such beautiful lines, Hiya. Into my FAVE.

"Perhaps, memories are just fluorescent leaves that sing in lifeline-ink" -- Absolutely! Whatever we see and hear outside of us, is the reflection of humanity's inner most soul. Blessings.

pastels of present seconds, pulsating heartbeats without 'You and I--I like how linked the past and present in stellar images. Aptly emotive, nicely delivered, Hiya.

I got on your page to comment and i smiled as i saw the trophy lol, ok now back to this poem! Where do i start, i love this form tetractys, one of those forms easiest to do for me. I love every word woven here in such eloquence. The way your words flow in such a poignant manner expressing so ink of your lifeline, memories that keep haunting you, as you are left “ without them” and funny, as i read this i am listening to “ with or without you “ by U2! Listen to it little angel! You might like.

I really love the line “ twinkling twilight stars that swing in skies?“ “ pearl-pastels of present seconds, “ those alliterations and the imagrry depth of what you’ve conveyed there truly blew me away! I felt the pulsating pain! So good! One of your best tetractys! Fave
