Dark Stars

One doesn't have to be in the limelight in order to shine...really like this Amiga ;)

Hi Tim:)

Thank you!!
Just heard the song and the dark star chorus
and off my mind went. LOL

Thanks for the RL
Woop Woop!!

such a wonderful thought, everyone and every thing co existing

Hi James!!

Right - my thoughts exactly.
The world is crazy right now.
We all could use a little cosmic love. hahahaha

Thanks for stopping by amigo:)

Love where you went with this… excellent from start to finish… last stanza is poetic gold…

Hi LilD:)

I had that stanza written first. LOL

Went backwards while
writing if that makes sense.

Thanks for the poetic gold comment.
Means a lot:)
Thanks for the RL and stopping by!!
Woop woop!!

Ultra Cosmic
Good vibe from this one
Spacial darkness

BIG LIKE

Hi PS:)

So happy you enjoyed it.
Like I told James
world is in a crazy place right now.
Just spreading some good karma.
Not everything needs to be a fight.
I would be exhausted. LOL

Thanks for stopping by buddy!

You weren't inspired by David Bowie's last studio album by any chance? 😎

No - but I adore David Bowie. God Bless his soul.

I had him as an Avatar a while back. LOL
Too funny.

Lol, the avatar thing is funny but not in a funny way, lol. Bowie's last studio album was called, 'Blackstar' as you may know. He already knew he was dying when he recorded it. He also killed off 'Major Tom' which was quite touching. You describe dark stars almost as if they are black holes. All way over my head, of course but your knowledge, although poetical, sounds very convincing!

I haven't heard it yet.
Don't judge!! haha

It's always interesting to get peoples perspective
on my stuff. I wanted it to come across like they are hidden
in the background cause they are dark. Almost side by side
enhancing each other in a way.

Lol, well these dark stars are hidden to the majority of us right, unless you own an observatory or happen to be Sir Patrick Moore, right? (And he's been dead for at least 5 years, lol. God bless his soul, huh?) I'll shut up now! I get too enthusiastic after a few drinks, that's the trouble!

Too funny.
You better raise that
glass and make a toast to  Adel and all the dark stars
out there. hahaha
Be safe amigo:)

Sigh. Beautiful thoughts, beautiful piece! Memories of nights on next mornings and the sweet questions of which is more prominent, the stars or the spaces between them?.... I really enjoyed this, as I do all of your thoughts!  Glad you shared this piece!

Hi Ted

You totally got it!!
Exactly what I was trying to convey in this piece.
So glad you picked it up - even happier that you
also enjoyed amigo:)

Hope you're having a great Saturday:
Thanks for the RL and commenting:)

Hey Steve:)

What a wonderful comment. Thank you so much!!
If I can help anyone change their mindset into a positive one
then mission accomplished!! That is the universal goal of
any writer buddy - so for you to put that out there - much
appreciation on my end. So worthwhile of my time:)

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment and the RL!!
Woop woop

This is lovely, reflects a sweet spirit and smiling face

Hi Bonanza

What a sweet comment.
Smiling right now. LOL

Thanks for stopping by and reading my stuff!

The stars and the universe brought love to you.  Keep on writing.

Hi Sisco!

Thank you for that. Just felt the vibe so I went
for it. LOL
Hope you're having a great Sunday.

Without some shades of dark, nothing can be brighter than anything else.  Without light, everything is dark.  They have to coexist, just to exist.  Because it's in the shades of light and dark, that things thrive.  Anything extreme is actually alone.

"Five shoulders" - what an original view!   99.9% of people would call them "legs".  But saying shoulders gives them a sense of weight, maybe even burden.  Of more purpose, then.  
You do know that you have a future, if wanted, in analyzing music in an online music site or elsewhere.  Could be lucrative!  

Say hi to the coyotes for me.  They're singing to you, missing you!  

To me stars look like they have shoulders. LOL
Also was thinking about back in the day at concerts when
guys would lift the girls on their shoulders to get a better view. hahaha

I've never thought about analyzing music on an online site. Is there even such a thing? hummm
Right now I just go with what I feel. Not sure I'd qualify to be honest. But your faith in me means the worlds amigo:)

As for the coyotes in my area - all of my little baby bunnies
have disappeared. They were so cute Mark:(
All gone.  I'm hoping they are alive but I doubt it.

But I will tell them hi for ya:)

You know you test my friendship by thinking rabbits are anything more than food for more awesome creatures.  They're like feeder fish, except they can't even swim very well.  

Bugs Bunny is cool.  But Thumper?  Food.  LOL.

It's a brutal world young lady.  Best be prepared.  I guess we won't be sharing that stew anytime soon, huh.  Durn it.  

OMG!!!
You're the devil!!

No!!!   I will not be sharing your pot of Thumper stew. That's just
monstrous. LOL
I know you're telling the truth but still they were so freaking
adorable. Could fit in the palm of my hand adorable - and I've got
small hands.
So yes I will be testing our friendship all the time when it comes to baby wildlife!! hahaha
Can we let them at least hit puberty first - enjoy wildlife sex at least
once before they get turned into stew!!  Jeeze. LOL

Hell yeah, by all means let them breed!   More food for carnivores!  

Yeah, they're cute as hell as wittle baby bunny rabbits.   But, even that fur is good lining for gloves and boots.   Mother nature provides well.  Lol

So many old soul songs are within these lines, even a few country hits. The thanking of spouses for accepting a role in their spouses limelight. To be of shadows doesn't mean that you don't exist, it's just that you can exist elsewhere besides the light. Tight

Hey Meme:)

It never occurred to me to think about Dark Stars in that way.
Just felt my mind go and started hearing phrases in my mind
and came up with this.

Thanks for checking it out:)

Dark stars shine often shine the brightest.
But you always shine bright, in the dark or the light.
What is perfection, it’s an impossible target because it doesn’t exist.
Or perhaps we are all perfect in our own ways…
And maybe there is always people that will see us that way despite our flaws.
Stitching into each other that’s where you find perfection.
Your expression of yourself is so perfect, and I think you are too. ;)
The shine often just makes you shut your eyes, it is blinding.
You can’t see past it to what lies inside.
The true buried treasures of the heart and soul.
That’s what I want to crack open and find…
I love the message here Adel,
Malice and jealousy only destroy the heart and soul.
So lift bright stars high above that and enhance the light,
or even the beautiful darkness. Coexisting in harmony…
Lovely message from truly beautiful person.

Hey Kristina:)

This is such a beautiful comment just like you:)
Thank you so much for taking the time and reading this.
I can tell you really thought about what I wrote. The way you
can really dig in and find the depth in this - as well as other
comments you've posted to other poems - so insightful.
There is so much more to you than poetry amiga.
You as well are an amazing and beautiful spirit:)

Thanks for the RL and commenting:)

Thank you so much. What an amazing comment.
This one took a little time. I heard the song and thought what a
great prompt so I started jotting things down and came up with this.

Thanks for taking the time to read:)

Damn! Stout writing 🤘❤️ dope as fk!

Well hey there Jigg:)

Thank you so much.
Love the dope as fk!! hahahaha

thanks for stopping by and commenting.

It's an important thing to me as I feel the perspective of the writing, what the intention of the writing is. I feel like your poem here address that vital quality of expression through its metaphors.

Hi Daniel:)

So happy to see you on my page. I hope everything is going well on your end of the world.

Sometimes I grab a metaphor and run with it. This one just came. I wrote the last stanza first and went backwards with it. I feel not everyone is comfortable in the limelight. Especially writers - which is why we write. Where quiet time is a must to focus all of the crowds in our head. Comfortable in our seclusion in a way.

Thank you so much for you RL and your comment.
Always lovely to see you:)

I can understand what you mean from my perspective, being in command of the expression space, creating a certain intimacy and yet maintaining a certain distance, is important for me.

Some of us thrive better in the shadows, sounds bad but some just don't do well qith attention

This is so true.
Did a poetry slam once and never again!!!
Oh the horror. hahaha
Went blank and realized not for me - I can sit back and just enjoy other people in their element.
More power to you.

Adelphina, you write your insight like a black sun who doesn't need fame or fortune but just the feeling of burning within to share in lesser-known venues. I once read at a poetry slam and never did again. The intimate setting of this forum is so much more attuned to my heart. Your poem rang its truth with a lyrical beauty that we dark stars know so well. You put it into words that capture the darkness and focus it on the dark matter whose power is irresistible.

Hi John:)

Man, I got such a horrible score!! hahaha
I took it with a grain of salt. It was my first time!!
Just not for me and that's okay too. You are so right about
a more intimate setting. This is more my speed:)
Got to meet and mingle with talented writers like yourself
and the group here. Thank you so so much for taking the time
to read amigo.

Thanks for stopping by and the RL:)

In my humble opinion, this is an impressive and very pleasant tribute to those of us who don't enjoy showing off and being "the life of the party". Something tells me this is also personal for you, though I could be way off about that. Either way, I really liked this! It's also very interesting that you used the image of stars who aren't comfortable shining. Stars are naturally bright, in this case, though, they retain their inner light without using it to draw attention to themselves. Great!

Mundus

Hey Mundus

Thanks for commenting on this. I'm not a shy person - but when I'm out of my element I like to stay in the background. It's like studying the dynamic of how other people behave when it's something you struggle with. Like doing homework in a way. LOL
So glad you enjoyed amgio.

Thanks for stopping by:)

Hi!

Yes, I know what you mean. I tend to do that as well, but then again I'm pretty shy when first meeting people. Again, thank you so much for this poem :)

Mundus

Another beautiful poem of yours! I am glad to be taking the time today to read through them... this poem is a true hidden treasure, and one I am pleased to have discovered. Going straight to my reading list! Love it.

Well hello again!!

Thank you for taking the time to read through my stuff.
Means the world:)

Thanks again for the RL!!

Not a problem! I am surprised I did not discover your poetry far sooner, but I am happy to have discovered it now. Some very great reading! *Smiles* :)
