Ishtahar's Song

[Nephylim]

I posted this in efction once but I don't write enough poetry to make 1000 words. Poetry isn't my thing but this one just... happened. It's a memory and a pain, a dream and a loss, a scream of eternal sorrow.

 

The moon was bright

 

The night you died

 

The night I wached the dying of the light

 

They would not let me come to you

 

 

The swords were bright

 

The night you died

 

When I watched your soul take flight

 

They would not let me come to you

 

 

 

Your eyes were bright

 

The night you died

 

Before they tore you from my sight

 

And they would not let me come to you

 

 

 

The moon was bright

 

The night I died

 

The blood pooled on the ground and dried

 

And I did so want to come to you

 

 

 

The stars were bright

 

The night I died

 

Orion's belt, too great a height

 

And still I could not come to you

 

 

 

The moon is bright

 

On this night

 

Bonds break, stars fall

 

And you come to me

 

 

 

 

 

Wishful thinking eh? I hope you liked it.

I liked it the first time I read it. I am glad to revist it. Thanks for reposting it here. Sometimes saying the unsayable, is what we need.

Nephy!

You have a special link with something in your soul that I have never seen before, in anyone.

You are an extremely talented artist/author!

I am so happy that you and GA found each other, otherwise I would not have found Nephylim.

WOW. That was.... I don't know... touching This poem means a lot to me and yes, it does touch something in my soul, something very... indescribable. I am also very glad that I found GA. If I hadn't, and it was sheer accident that I did, I don't think that most of my stories would have been written, let alone read by anyone. LOL A match made in heaven... or somewhere.

[Agaith]

oh god why didnt i scroll through these other pages sooner!

This was amazing Nephy I loved it to bits!

[Nephylim]

Thank you

[VickyS]

Nice work Nephy :-), so you write awesome poetry too... cool 8).... I loved the structure of this poem, and the rhyme n rhythm. And of course, the "night" and the "blood"... Loved reading it. :-)

[Dark Princess]

I really liked it. it went into depths that only the soul can understand without boring me . I like the way you repeated "The night you died" and "They would not let me come to you" it shows that you really wanted to be there.

So I'm running around the new GA and looking for anything and everything and I find--"Ishtahar's Song". AGAIN!

I wonder how many of you people here on GA actually realize that your artistic talent doesn't just reach a person one time and is lost.

Thanks so much Nephylim.

You greeneyed beauty!

Heh!
