Description
The stoic moon adrift in nothingnessSerenely sails on waters pitch with night,
Seducing starlight with her loneliness
To wither with the dawn in bluish light.
Thus sailing she above the heartless sea,
Knowing well that cold sea wants a heart,
Rains down dull moonlight like a nepenthe,
And colors all my travails with her art.
A shipwrecked soul, irreparably rift,
Forever stranded between estranged lands,
I reach the maiden moon to kiss her hands;
And since we sail alone, recluse, adrift,
I join her flight, diving into the clear
Black waters, heart in hand, and disappear.

This one shines. Or does it sparkle? (Or perhaps make a siren splash?) Methinks some of all three.

The whisper of iambic pentameter is a seduction until you wade deeper and you're caught in its unique concentration of rhythm and rich sense of consciousness until it stops the readers at a stark end. Very nicely rendered.

That is good to know
Because I usually don't do traditional stuff
Except Japanese haiku and tanka.

A woman, a quarter of her face, made her very beautiful and then put a song on the side. Mrs Potato head by Melanie Martinez you'll understand if you listen to it

Remind me to check the song out later.
I haven't heard it before

it's a bit more of an 'emo' song but it's really good it has sown strong meaning behind it
As do most of Melanie's songs that's why I love her
