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 π so glad you liked it β€οΈ
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 π so glad you liked it β€
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!β€ thank you so much, Rommy π so glad you liked itβ€
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 π so glad you liked it β€
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 definitelyβ€ thanks for stopping by, Kerry π
well, they say opposites do attract. but two poets? wish them the best. thanks for your hopeful poem
Thank you so much, Angie π so glad you liked it β€
Oh, this is wonderful. Opposites walk a different path, but oh the joy when they meet where life intersects.
Thank you so much, Susie π so glad you liked itβ€

So very nice, Sanaa. Clever supposition. Plath and I were the same age.

Wonderfully realised, Sanaa. I knew which poets they were before reading your note. And indeed, what a coupling that would have been!
