Star

Star-crossed love

Fate
Kept apart
Love’s yearning melody

Unsung
Silent desire
Celestial duet, hidden

Secretly
Held close
Burning, clandestine emotions

Constellations
Sole witness
A hidden fire

Dance
Cosmic ballet
Love never forgets

Love
Lost, found
Impenetrably-held secret

    1. Hey David. Thanks a mil. I wrote the title as part of a 6-word-story post November 2021 and been sitting on the idea of a full poem. A few days ago I dusted it off from draft but couldn’t find just the right poetic form till now. This is one of those pieces where the prompt and a draft poem are perfectly aligned. Glad you like it to the point of stuttering (that’s cute). And thanks for being a super host with these great prompts. Cheers 🙏🏽😊🙏🏽

    1. Thanks. I thought what would be the common thing between two star/crossed lovers than a secret of their love so impenetrable that only the cosmos know its depth — a love lost then found.
