Carina

[AlexandratheLate]

Carina,
like an eternally diffused nebulae, your love had no defined boundaries
How I wept and yearned to cradle you up high in the soaring eagle’s nest
Intoxicated by the valley between your Pillars of Creation
The emitted light of your goodness was just reflection from other stars

Oh Carina,
what obstacles I would have surmounted just to be with you
I would have outlined your sensuous lips with golden pearls
Then sprinkle your beautiful deep night eyes with stars to sparkle
Comb and braid your hair through all the endless constellations

But your cold heart only reflected darkness deep from the worms in your soul
your life dissipated and was cut short like stellar evolution
Your final breath evaporated and dispersed through all the galaxies
And I was condemned to freely roam alone for all eternity

Wow! You really went all in on this one. Hauntingly beautiful. She must have been quite a woman.

[AlexandratheLate]

Lol lol. Thank you my poet friend but I was trying to see if I could write from a male's point of view and I was researching the constellations, nebulae, and mythology -- so I wish I could say it was me except for the worms, lol lol but Carina is a constellation and in my mind Hercules was after her. Lol lol.

[Odonko-ba]

Still well written. Lol.

[AlexandratheLate]

That means the world to me - thank you very much my poet friend. :-)

[AlexandratheLate]

I couldn't very well put worms in your hole -- wormhole -- lol and it added an element of disgust and some star masses look like worms. Carina is a constellation. :-). Thank you for reading and catching that. :-)

Hi, AG, you have successfully written from the male point of view! The longing and desire are palpable, and the devastating loss told in highly emotional terms. Great work!

[AlexandratheLate]

Thank you very much MH. Then I accomplished my goal. :-)

[grant hayes]

Carina rings a fair chime; I'm partial to constellated time.
