Said I To The Girl With Midnight Eyes Poem by Ben Partenay

Said I To The Girl With Midnight Eyes

Rating: ★5.0


Can you take this loneliness from me
Will you walk with me down to the lake
Where the birds all fly into the moon
And cattails sway and try to touch the sky

I know this is a silent starry night
But can you help the phoenix catch the sun
He needs a heart to speed him on his way
And Icharus is just a ways ahead

Icharus is one of my all time favorite literary images. This sparkles in shades of loneliness and timid hope. Wonderful.
