LAST SONG (photomorph) & THE SUPER NOVA (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

THE SUPER NOVA

when I look back to
the sudden burst of recognition you'd
never love me (at least in that
intimate way I so craved), it's still burning there
in my deepest inner skies like a super nova;
and like a dying star the brilliant light it gives off
will long out last me, the only thing
truly lost then? this pair of old eyes to
soak in
the beauty of this beloved light's
flaring out

PLEASE NOTE: in most browsers you can click on the above image for a larger version. Also, the photo accompanying a post is not necessarily meant to illustrate it, but to reflect some small, even slant aspect of the verse, similar to Japanese haiga (illustrated haiku).

There are many other sorts of posts on this blog. I indicate which are about or influenced by dreams. Some non dream focused posts are book reviews, "regular" poems (some by other writers), scifaiku, writing exercises, Tarot haiku, photos, haiga, and so on. However, most of those are in much older posts. There's a listing by month going back to early 2006, at the end of the sidebar.

until next time, keep dreaming,
