The Song of a Pleading Heart

Curse you! Oh! The river of time, Why should you be so cruel And embarrass your beautiful chime? Why should you bring her carriage, To ruin the song of love, To ruin a beautiful marriage? O' Princess of the stars, Don't go so soon away, What does this land lack, So plenty in the distant stars far away? The Mononoke may still be standing high, Waiting for her next prey, Let her sleep, For she will be tired Of all the standing. Let us sing the song of love, For it will be a sin to leave it unfinished. O' Princess of the stars, Let the river of nebula be born from your hands, Where we shall sail in a land, Where reality and dreams meet, Let each colour touch me, As they touch you, Let your song echo through the galaxies For eternity, Let time become futile, Let its river dry out, Let us sail for eternity, Let us be lost and be found again as stars, Stars of eternal youth, with stories of love to tell.....

Oh, Ranaditya, such yearning, such passion, such a great title! This piece more than lives up to it's captivating caption. Rich textured beauty burns brightly in the lush artistry and romance of this exquisite poem. Potent emotions poured forth in the melted gold of your enchanting pen painting imagery and metaphors with vivid and moving finesse. A fav! Congratulations for your excellent win in Mark's contest.

Ranaditya, it's nice to meet you. Your emotionally charged poem is a plaintive cry to the "Princess of the stars" for love not to end, but to continue to eternity. "Let us be lost and be found again as stars, Stars of eternal youth, with stories of love to tell ..." Beautiful! Congratulations on your win on Mile 10 of my 2022 Poetry Marathon Contest. Keep your running shoes on, because Mile 11 has already started. Also, check out my blog post to view your current standing in the Marathon.
