Lost in the clouds without you
Lost in the sky without you

I shine like diamonds in the sky
Come summer I'm over, down and under
Come October's eyes over New America's
Eyes, I give a show.

My sword in place
Diana's arrow misplaced
From Apollo's jealousy
Your tender reality jogged

The starry-eyed romance
now a fog

But I can't help but think of you
as I decend from the sky come true

When stars fall from my wounded heart
Burning bright as a thousand burning sword
On an early October Morn

"The starry-eyed romance

...

Ain't it true? Love holds us so captive.

I must confess a bit of confusion, though... *blush* Especially concerning this verse:

"My sword in place
Diana's arrow misplaced
From Apollo's jealousy
Your tender reality jogged"

The poem sounds really good, and I do catch the basic gist, but I feel as though I'm missing something here.

Amara, ya sorry about that. This poem has interlaced themes in it, mainly what you feel missing concerns the myth behind the constellation Orion. Apollo was Diana (goddess of archery)'s bro and he tricked her into shooting something swimming way out in the ocean. It was of course Orion and she killed her love by accident so zeus placed him up in the sky for all eternity. So there ya go

Now I like the poem even more! Honestly!


Light keep you always,

To see something as an end is to mourn for it; to see it as a beginning is to have hope.
