Mike Gentile Poet Couplet

Twinkling Heartbeats

When stars align in skies of love
               like twinkling heartbeats high above
I wonder those who’ve passed my way
                        Aligned in stars for just a day

So many heartbeats I have known 
             That cosmic winds have gently blown
Allowing us but just a wink
                            A brief alliance yet to think

Yet friends and lovers sparkle still
                        In memories command at will
I wonder if they think of me
                  When stars align once more to be

Bj Legros Kelley January 18, 2022 at 8:05 PM Ooooh, this is an amazing poem Mike. I have wondered the same thing. I'm sure those that you've been near remember you. I love your poems, and they affect us here on the soup, you surely affect those who know you or have met you personally in your life. This is precious, I really love it. I'm faving it! Mike Gentile January 19, 2022 at 4:07 AM BJ, that is so very nice of you to say and it makes me very happy, thank so much xxoo

Marikate Kingston January 17, 2022 at 7:02 PM Mike came across your poem & reading it felt like a hug, I recently lost my father, his sister & my landlord, so how ironic I came across your poem. It brought to mind an old Eskimo legend that begins, "Perhaps they are not stars, but rather the openings in the sky where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us .. My favorite and to me, the most beautiful line in your poem reads, "So many heartbeats I have known." This is so lovely and so moving. Mike Gentile January 19, 2022 at 4:05 AM Marikate, thank you so much for your kind comments!. I am so glad that it resonated with you, I often think of those who've touched my life and are gone from it one way or another and wonder if I ever cross their minds xxoo

Brandy Nicole December 30, 2021 at 7:32 PM "I wonder if they think of me, when stars align once more to be" Most definitely. This is so beautiful and tender.
