Separate Stars & Worlds

A breakup "nonet" love poem

Second Place in Breakup Nonet Challenge

Your bioluminescence stopped my

heartbeats. Eyes of fireflies: coasts of

ardor / foreign dreams. As one,

we plucked oysters from the

wild’s whorls - strung our pearls…

then were flung to

separate

stars and

worlds.

    Aweosme to read "Love is not only in the light, it deepens in the silence of the night. "Good night" is said in silence most of all."

    The nonet is such a tricky poetic form, but you have employed it with great effect in this brush with love in all its fleeting intensity! Congrats on placing! Richly deserved. I love the pic too!

    Hello, there! I would like to invite you to check and share your thoughts on my latest article entitled "God Ra vs. God AMON." In this piece, I study one of the most captivating mythological themes - the conflict and the interaction between two powerful gods of ancient Egyptian pantheon. If you are a fan of mythology, fiction or just enjoy a good story, I believe this article will attract your interest. I would like to hear any reviews, ideas or comments! Here is the link to the article: https://customer-opinion.top/fiction/god-ra-vs-god-amon%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E Thank you in advance for your support and time! With the best wishes, Pepe Kapev
