Starless Night ----------------------- I look into a starry night It reminds me of a poem I like "The Night has a Thousand Eyes" It conjures up a sadness I bare About Love and Trust, I lost them somewhere. Though I search and search, and my cries fill the air Deserted in Love, By a maiden so fair. I look into a starless night A thousand eyes have closed For the one, whose love has lost its light. James Parker Haley Feb 24, 1993 |

Cheer up, everyone is meant for someone, and if she left, then you deserve better!!! Won't you smile once for me??? Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Sadly beautiful, well done, James! I could feel the loneliness in this. Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Seems as though there is nothing lonelier than images of lost love on starry nights. Been there, my friend! Lovely work! Corinne |

Oh devina, your so sweet, but its an old wound and I really am smiling now thanks. Katie, we are never really sure are we, so we just believe otherwise we'd go insane. Thanks Denise, but I think I got alot of help from the other poem "The Night has a thousand Eyes" its really a beautiful piece. Thanks Meadowmuse, thanks Corinne. |

"Is the moon out tonight I don't know if it's starry are bright cause I only have eyes for you" An old love song that your poem brought back. Well done poem but I wish you happiness in love. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

An absolutely wonderful poem! It struck a note in my heart with such tenderness that i wondered if i had written it. At least beautiful poetry can be derived from such sadness. Sonny |

Thank you Martie, the moon is always out in my mind. Thanks Sonny, we've all written these words in our heart at some point. Parker |
