Heavenly Bodies

entry picture

August is a great month for star gazers!

Fully clothed

With naked eye

She gazes upwards

To a moonlit sky

A mighty presence

Swiftly felt

Orion appears

Only wearing 

A belt

She's waited here

Till an early morn 

For his shimmering touch

On a summer's dawn

The hunter haunts her

As Venus looks on

But when sun arises

Her lover is gone

I loved reading this, I liked the imagery and the loss of love.

Really well crafted. Did it take long, it feels like one of those pieces that are just a flow of consciousness?

Whatever its beautiful.

Is there an element of yourself floating in it above us?

Don you never fail to make me smile. And there's me trying to be all poetic about astronomy and how spectacular the night sky is at the moment ?
