The night is cold As a thousand stars hang over my head Dancing in the night sky They've forgot the words we've said But I still remember The smile that's in your eyes I can't make myself forget Those bright blue skies Try to forget you But my heart just won't let go Affection's hard to come by And even harder to let go So I pray Selfish starlight, go away LORD please Take this from me The risk of love Is that she would walk away from me The cupids arrow Still gone deep inside my heart Some say that love Was only meant to set us free But i know better The starlight always finds me So I lay down lay down to sleep HE turns the page. Selfish starlight, go away. |

Oh boy, that was SOOOO great! Cupid's arrow does touch us all, and we all wish that we could make it go away sometimes. This is a great one, my friend. Keep posting!! PS:check your e-mail "Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, for everyone can see and few can feel."-Machiavelli |

Yeah, I'm with Lovebuggy. It happens, we all want the stupid nude arrow baby to back off a little at least once in a while. I did enjoy the poem quite profoundly. The rhyme scheme was very creative and variable in places, I usually don't like that but it did suit this piece. I especially like how you had variation in stanza size, it once again made the poem a lot more creative in a sense. Welcome to Passions in Poetry.
