      My heart is swollen by cicadas' songs;
      A moment filled by agape persists



'It turns pearlescent, almost fantastical at the sight of moonrise'
I am uttering your famous words, beloved

How poetic of you, beloved-
Truly wondrous how you uncover hymns and find limericks even in my grief
      It speaks of us in volumes


If only the now barren tears I shed at every slivering of moonbeam
Could shudder the ground they fell upon with their might-
As if clashes of shield and sword
      I am quipped with no other battle gear

Maybe then I'd have your attention,
Perhaps then I could wake you, quaver you, and finally seize you out of the dulling mire
      Let me unearth your sullen solid symphony


Croon for me and pluck on my heart strings once more
      You are the only musician who clasps me right and oh how we make enchanting music together


To the grand entity proclaiming this cosmos (if you exist)
   
   Hear this crippled spirit's plea:

   
   Make of my beloved a secret gathering in the sky,
   My own Andromedae that I may seek out as often times as my heart would yearn
      I am learning you forever


Prithee, allow Gaia and Chronus to their charms as they
      
   Make my bed of cinder           
       above
   your diminished dermis
       below                
   your constant constellation

Only there on that specific point in plane,
On that end-piece would I ever find my never-ending peace


      Let agape and her cicadas orchestrate the encore without us
My soul weeps at the sight of your haunting moon rays

You creep

I cry



We linger

this is a fantastic piece of work! it's so intricate - there are so many layers for me to explore!

which line did you like the least? asfhkdslga too hard. there's nothing that i look at and say "oh dear i really don't like this!" it's great!

which line did you like the most? "let me unearth your sullen solid symphony"
wooooow. just wow. wow.

was there real impact at any instance? yes! throughout the whole piece! in fact, my only real criticism about this piece is that perhaps there is too much of the flowery language? for me personally, it's just sitting the line between enough and too much. but then again, it's your poem, and other people (yourself included?) may not agree!

wonderful work dear <3
