In the wake...of sunlight

by Sunshine   Aug 20, 2012


For the yawning dim night that wraps itself around me;
if you believe that I'm a new moon glowing through
your hub-or if my big, still deep eyes fooled you
that I carry two spheres of a fortunate black sea

Trust me I own no mirrors to embellish your face
I've got no fortunes of silver, nor tails of fire
though have an eternal soul that'd shine forever ,
but not as infinite as your unbounded space.

Something about you terrifies the secrets I suppress
so to think my heart of glass would serve as your skin
oh how shallow you are, I can't even glow deep within
for all of my hopes are consumed by your duskiness..

Just release me, release me oh evil night
unleash the gates you've locked behind me...
so that my wishes, my prayers could break free
and get you trapped evermore in the wake of sunlight

In the wake, yes, in the wake of sunlight;
with teeth of fires eating me.

    I can't stop reading this piece, over and over again I'm taken away by the sheer beauty of sorrowful and heartfelt expressions within each and every line.

    To start: The first line captivated me with the words such as "yawning dim night"---- beautiful word display!

    The entire piece is filled with an aching heart that yearns for the darkness to bring light, this is my feeling upon this piece.

    I can't help but feel a sense of desperation and within these feelings Nana has continued on with elegance...word by word.

    Wow, this poem is amazing! First, I remember you saying how you don't really like to rhyme in your poetry, and I love how you chose to rhyme here, it's not so obvious but it really fit well with the poem. I love your imagery and metaphors!!

    "For the yawning dim night that wraps itself around me;
    if you believe that I'm a new moon glowing through"

    ^ so beautifully written...

    I also love the idea of embellishing someone's face with mirrors..

    This is my favorite part of this poem:

    "Something about you terrifies the secrets I suppress
    so to think my heart of glass would serve as your skin"

    ^ the idea of your heart of glass serving someone's skin.... I can't explain how I feel when I read this! I'm just speechless!

    Congratulations on the win! You definitely deserve it <3

    Incredible metaphor usage!

    Your opening lines in each stanza were strong enough to intrigue me to dig deeper for meanings.

    A fine piece of art!
    Write on~
