a
far-flung star
you
were to me
twinkling
in sky
out
of my reach
I
gave you the moon
to
ensnare your heart
gladly
given more
to
be your star
instead
you stayed
just
a mere fantasy
and
never to return
my kisses and pleas- Inspired by Poetic Aside Poetry Prompt#516-star poem and posted for dVerse OLN
Oh this reminds me of someone with a crush....an unrequited love. Loving someone from afar. I think we've all had a crush like this sometime during our lives.
ReplyDeleteI like the thought of giving the moon to ensnare a heart.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely title for your bittersweet poem. I remember more those days when I was a "lovesick" teenager having crushes who remained fantasies...drat!
ReplyDeleteYou’ve summed up the joy and pain of unrequited love in this ‘far-flung star’, a bitter-sweet poem indeed!
ReplyDeletegiving the moon, like giving everything, yet not receiving what was hoped for in return, so sad for the hope that was let down
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. Lonely and longing.
ReplyDeleteA lovely if sad poem indeed.
