I think that in another life
I would find you.
we would be strangers, of course -
I would watch you dance with a girl
in a dress too pretty
and a smile too sweet.
you’d look happy.
but in this life your eyes do not
shine as bright
and your smile lacks its wicked
and daring.
in this life you fear danger.
I have never known you to be like that.
perhaps she has not either.
and so I plead, softly, as my gaze trails
along the blurring lines of your face
that you remember
that somewhere in another life
we scream and fight and laugh and cry
under a starless, bleeding, magnificent sky.
Beautifully written Antara … this truly connects the what was to what “can be” … great composition
Your verses delicately weave a tapestry of unfulfilled connections, evoking poignant emotions, while the vivid imagery of alternate lives beneath a "starless, bleeding, magnificent sky" leaves an indelible impact on the heart. Beautifully written.
Some poems have fluidity and rhythm, others evoke a mood and feeling, some have a magical quality to it and some are simply mesmerizing.
This one is all of the above!
So beautiful ….. very touching
I love the mood the poem sets! And the choice of artwork really aligns with the tone and message
