Every time I close my eyes the world
comes to a dead end. I am lost in the
darkness. Can you hear me? Perhaps
I imagined you inside my head.
She walks, a form of loveliness, akin to
moon at night. I can hear her desperate
plea. ‘Come save me’ Oh passion sways
despair. We reunite.
Fire and water. Such is their verse, and
though they seemed worlds apart, there
is a hint of common ground. Speculate,
what if they had met!

Lovely interpretation of the prompt, Sanaa. Beautiful words and pleasing aesthetic. I also suspect hint of common ground between these two.
Thank you so much, Khaya 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
We chose the same poets and how different our responses!! I love how you find romance pretty much everywhere, Sanaa!
Thank you so much, Kim 🙂 so glad you liked it ❤
Could Poe be the moody lover to rekindle Plath’s faith in life, as well as her heart? You’ve made a good case for it. I hope it works out with those crazy kids.
Me too!❤ thank you so much, Rommy 🙂 so glad you liked it❤
There is a hint of common ground, indeed! And I completely agree with what Kim suggests: seeing romance (everywhere) is certainly a gift you have.
Thank you so much, Magaly 🙂 so glad you liked it ❤
Ah, yes, she walks in beauty like the night – I caught that allusion instantly. This has quite a dreamy and romantic tone. Two lost poetic souls: it would have been an interesting meeting.
Most definitely❤ thanks for stopping by, Kerry 🙂
