bright

by Jayme Meiram

falling
crashing
burning bright

streaking
cutting
slicing the night

dreaming
wondering
wishing for you

stretching
reaching
bleeding for truth

pleading
begging
calling my dreams

won’t you
can’t you
come home to me?

screaming
yelling
remembering our fight

leaving me
falling
crashing
burning bright

    Gorgeous! I was trying to use that photograph, but couldn’t come up with anything half as good as that.

    I love how it’s so minimal, and yet you can draw so much of a scene from just those few lines.

    I really like this. It sounds like a typical falling star poem, but then you throw in some different things. Very emotive.

    I really like this! It does sound like your typical falling star poem, but you added emotions and I’m sure anyone who read this can relate! Great job!
