Starry Night

[Dark Muse]

Starry Night

Steeped in the solitude of night
feel myself watching neath starry eyes
nocturne serenade tempting sleep
held in darkness' embrace
into dreams I still steep
beneath these silver adorned skies
steeped in the solitude of night.

Where in quietude seeking my insight
and a thousand times the soul dies
nocturne serenade tempting sleep
held in darkness' embrace
caught by beauty that makes me weep
beneath these silver adorned skies
steeped in the solitude of night.

Stars at my fingertips sublime delight
steeped in the solitude of night
breath held on gentle sighs
beneath these silver adorned skies
nocturne serenade tempting sleep
whispers in my mind creep
held in darkness' embrace
held in darkness' embrace.

My soul flutters to take cosmic flight
and shed away all mortal lies
steeped in the solitude of night
nocturne serenade tempting sleep
held in darkness' embrace
steeped in the solitude of night.

I agree with Qimi, the repeated lines are masterful and are what makes this poem a masterpiece!

I know that I've read this before, but I never seemed to have commented on it :eek:

I 100% agree with everything said by everyone above. There is so much music in this nocturnal poem, it's repetition is so beautiful. . . . .might as well just repeat what quimissung and Pendragon said!
Your best poem to date ;)

(love the title by the way, I'm assuming it's an allusion to Van Gough)

Yes, that it is, he is my favorite impressionist artist, and Starry Night is one of my all time favorite paintings
