Make the Stars Disappear Make the stars disappear, make the moon go away I can no longer watch how they taunt me this way For the moon lays so gently on pillow and bed And the stars twinkle love-light on white quilted spread I beg of the little stars lighting the skies Please wipe out the memories of love from your eyes For you were the witness to love’s splendid bliss Please undo the lullabies, un-kiss the kiss Dear moon, will you listen to heart’s gentle plea Please un-glisten opal white beauty on me Un-glitter his eyes with the gems from above Undo his caresses, unmake all the love You two were the ones who enchanted his heart Now please un-bewitch this, the one torn apart Unfurl all the darkness of midnight‘s black sky Unravel the dreams of a fool such as I Close your eyes, little stars, bow your head, moon of grace For shame should envelope your beautiful face Bestow no more splendor upon this, my soul Please un-kiss the kisses that made me feel whole Elizabeth Santos |

This is such an inspiring poem Elizabeth. Sometimes we think we could do away with certain things, but love isn't one of them. I hope love soon re-enters your heart and creating joy and happiness for you. Beautifully written Elizabeth! Randy Meador a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. |

Well the poem was sad and beautiful that is for sure, and done in perfect form, but my first response is a joke of course! I want to say, "Hey Liz, try throwing rocks up to the sky it feels way better!"  ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |

Mysteria, see what you did now? Eveyone's throwing rocks at my poem! I don't have the strength to throw even a little one, so I'll just have to kick.Haha I appreciated all your kind remarks and of course our stand up comedian who makes me laugh, thank goodness, How can anyone be a serious poet around here. My next poem will be in a lighter tone Thank you all so very much. You are all so dear Liz |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) So very sad, sweet Elizabeth, I too pray for light to again shine through your heart and erase your heart of sour love memories and replace them with kisses that will forever make you smile! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, my heart cries out to you! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Such sadness wrapped in such beauty. But, without each and every experience, would you be who you are? {{HUGS}} -heather I do not seek...I find! |

I cannot go now I must always shine on you moonlight caresses lest you should ever forget the deep feeling of true love Let thy moon arise. William Blake [This message has been edited by lunatic (02-07-2002 10:25 AM).] |

This is a lovely and sad poem, one that I can relate to well at this time. |
