I see you

In the sting
Of swift emersion

As if something,
stunning
stroked the darkness

A light glows
my eyes
blink back levied tears

You are not real.

You seem
as if divine.

I’d rush
to meet you

But you’d simply fade
Into the canvas

The stars,
keepsakes
of my loss

I ache so

I lived
through hunger’s path

Lay me down
I’ll feed you  
grapes of
our past love

Ah....this is so different than what you usually post sir. It's dramatic in tone and the format suits this subject. Well done!!

Walt,

Quite a premonition (we can hope) you had in your poem....  Someday, perhaps, we will lay back and be fed grapes by beautiful goddesses.  One can certainly dream.  Nice poem.  Bob <><

As if something,
stunning
stroked the darkness

the above stanza is a great image and feeling as is the whole poem!  eyem crazy...i kinda wondered what the levied tears tasted like in the 4th stanza?  this reminds me of total darknes on the dunes off the coast.  quite a thought!
