Sermon of Stars

Against night black as coal

Divine light which guides our souls.

Gazed we did upon those stars

And carelessly cast away thoughts of who we are.

Adventure arises within our hearts

Seeking beauty in the dark.

Our eyes sought and caught wondrous dreams

And romance burst at it's seams.

An audience of ten thousand worlds

Lay witness to these sacred words.

I breathe in, get to one knee

And whisper "Honey, will you marry me?"

The stars reply "Yes" as her eyes shine

In that moment, stood still did time

When we embraced, together, in that field

And in the tutelage of starlight, our futures were healed.

Author's Note

Aware of the inconsistency in tenses, it was intentional.

Reviews

[My-two-lives]

Very pretty words, i like the use of the metaphors, and the descriptions are well thought-out, (unless this review).
At first glance, this would appear to be a rather simple four-stanza poem, with an equally nice four-line-to-a-stanza structure, which makes it easy to read, but, upon closer inspection, it has complex metaphors, (in my eyes,) beautifully-phrased descriptions, and a very interesting story for such a short poem.
I expect this to come up in English Literature studies in the future, and if not then i am very angry with whoever chooses the poetry to go into the anthologies, well done.
