Tonight the Sky Wants a Poem

Tonight the stars shine in a way that is devastating
Because they are the cursor blinking steady on my screen
The inky background the cursed shine lays upon
Steals the very words from my fingertips
This act of thievery expands full throttle
Searching
               Down
                         Down
                                    Down
I choke on a vine of thorns trailing my vocal chords
As I feel my words vanish from my throat
My tongue is still tangled from the last robbery
When the vibrations fell flat off the percussion in my ear
I don't think my thief realises it was an offering for them
I hope the Universe deems this a good offering
And I hope the Sky does not target your brilliance next

Ink Empress Date: 9/24/2023 4:08:00 AM That title brought me here! Such a beautiful and deep write. This can also be about those plagiarists too stealing one’s words, ive been through many times and have written about that too. I really love the depth of this and how you’ve delivered it Login to Reply Some One Date: 9/24/2023 9:15:00 AM Thank you so much for the kind words! I hadn't thought about the perspective of plagiarism, but you are definitely right about the similar thievery. I'll have to check out some of your poems too!
