La La Land

A Poem by Sonife

Inspired to write poetry by one of the most poetic films I've ever seen.

'Twas after sunset along the LA skyline
Its silhouette prancing against the light of moon
As it lovingly caress the beginning of night
From a distance I saw forever in your eyes

We dreamed of happy endings
To our stories never told
It was a journey we started treading
Towards a lonely path foretold

So it was both a fight and surrender
Along azure plains of longing
But what is fear of loss and failure
Amidst galaxies across never ending‎

The city of stars, would it hold us dearly
And encircle us in its arms?
Would its warm soul speak to us finally
And lay us to our dreams afar?‎

Though I feared spreading my wings
You gently lifted me to the sky afar
And as swift as an incandescent evening
We danced to the mellifluous tune of stars

I dare ask to stay in this moment
Of blissful whispers and silent songs
Melodies unravel as I take my pirouette
To the bearer of my dreams all night long

As the city of stars embraced me
Your hand no longer held mine
Thus in vain I struggle deeply
To escape this empty caress of night

But what was left of the stars above
Was a faint whisper of our hearts
And though we told the universe of our love‎
Our dreams have conspired to keep us apart‎
