I wanted to touch you
But you are gone
like the moonlight
like the love
like so much of my life.
Just beyond my grasp.
The night is darker now.
An inky ocean of blackness and void
and my only companions are the distant stars
small specks of sparkling dust
bathe this endless, soundless sea of space
with a majestic shroud of solitude:
of loneliness
touching this fragile
cracked shell.
Somewhere
in the far corner
of heaven
I wanted to touch you
for but a moment.
No longer silent,
No longer dark and empty,
No longer cold and alone.
No longer
Just beyond
My grasp.

I like this because the word star can be used as a metaphore for almost anything in our lives that we feel is beyond reach. Nicely written. I enjoyed it.

The emotions exhibited here are ones of sadness with a star's light shimmer of hope, though there doesn't always feel like much of it at times. This poem pulled me in and it's not that it didn't let me go, but I didn't want to let go of it. Good usage of visuals!
