The Stars Only Cry At Night

My love has gone to a distant dawn For the stars only come out at night In a soulful song my will pulls along Whispers weeping in the moonlight My love evaporated as I have waited For the stars only come out at night My love deflated as heaven dictated For I have truly tried with all my might My love a silhouette as shadows forget For the stars only come out at night Love’s dying duet we’ve become offset Two soaring doves in a different flight My love abandoned a sorrow branded For the stars only come out at night The tears I’m handed deeply saddened And vanquishing flames try to ignite My love is jarred and forever barred For the stars only come out at night Love is scarred for I’ve battled hard For the stars cry on this starry nite.
This was written in July...was saving it for such an occasion...this is the first time posting of this poem. I would also like to dedicate this poem to my friend...Connie Marcum Wong...not because she cry's when the stars come out at night lol...because she is a beautiful enlightened soul...and I thank her very much for her support, along with others...but for now, just her lol...thank you, Connie... July/31/2017 Best rhyming poem May-July 2017 Sponsored by: John Hamilton

Wow awesome rhyme scheme here and super refrain, starry n I like how u phrase it as 'distant dawn,'. It's also creative how it has internal rhymes such as good word choice as in evaporated n deflated'. Kudos all in all. Nice to read from u again. Pls do write your thoughts about my latest poem too, under it.

This is out of this world ^WW^! I so appreciate your dedication. I was admiring one of the brightest stars in the sky here and suddenly it began to move in different directions and then it would again become static and I realized it was not from our world. That is the feeling I get from your lovely poem...chills! This poem is amazing! Your chosen music enhances that feeling. Thank you for the lovely compliment. I must fave this beauty! Mahalo Nui Loa, Connie

That is a beautiful piece of work. I do love seeing stars, but I'm in an area where the lights and smog seem to always obliterate them.
