"Some seeing me now ask 'Were you shot down?' Yes I was"


Poem Artwork

Transcendental Sonnet #1415:

Night Flight

 

My first three books all might as well be thrown in the sea

Written as they were for one who cares nothing for me

It hurts now to read of the love I poured inside them

I was once so proud of them but now sadly hide them

 

The last time I talked to her she had them in a box

In the attic with the artifacts like broken clocks

It took the best tattoo artists here from miles around

Working hours and hours on my arm to get her name drowned

To make her star fall in terrible beautiful flame

And to leave a black hole where no one can see that name

 

Some seeing now ask me "Were you shot down?"  Yes I was

But no one ever flew higher than I did because

I have a devoted imagination you see

And for a thousand nights I imagined she loved me

Painful...but I doubt it was a waste of time...words bring healing...and healing is close because you are able to write about it!!

I'm sorry you were hurt while giving your love to someone. Hope you'll soon meet someone who will be nice to you and give you your love in return.

This is a heartfelt write.

You certainly do seem to have been burnt good. Some day those poems will become lovely to you again because you will see the truth of your love through them. It is this love that you will carry on to the next person that will be in your life.
