open your eyes girl,
isnt it a bit too long
i've been waiting by your bedside
of soft earth and grass

look at the stars so lovely
they beckon you to gaze at them
for even they are waiting
for your eyes to savour them...

the night is spreading its cover,
of smooth dark velvet
over your ivory skin
it cradles u in ur sleep

the sun rises with hope
of not the new day
but it awaits its sunshine
thats lost with your smile...

my pain seems so little
when i look at all of them
they seem so lost
in the gloom of your absence...

-Eon Heath

  1. I always enjoy reading your poetry! Everything I've read so far has been so beautiful, and something that I could relate to.

  2. its been quite sometime I've visited your blog, and that's a beautiful poem there. God knows I needed to read one.
    P. S. I'm an atheist.
    But I had to read one.

  4. Um, it is cool to be reading from you. Yes, it's been really long.

    The poem, or whatever it is that you'd like to call it synthesizes very peacefully in my head. Like I think I have it in me to process and analyse what substance this has been etched out of. The words, they have their impact, really. : )

  5. Its painful, yet I would say its beautiful. One of my dear friend had mentioned the words 'Beautiful Pain' and I had agreed to it...and here I felt the same.

    My brain cells of writing any verse or prose have failed me for time being, so am sharing a pretty verse your words reminded me of:

    "Doubt that the stars are fire;
    Doubt that the sun doth move;
    Doubt truth to be a liar;
    But never doubt I love."

    By William Shakespeare, from the play 'Hamlet', the verse was written by Hamlet in a letter to his love Ophelia
    :)

    P.S.I think this was the right time to publish this poem. Yet I feel something is missing, The Crown- Title.

  13. Lovely poetry.

    Words don't have to rhyme to make their beauty felt or give them a poetic feel... This one is a perfect example..

    P.S.: Well, you did make up for your absence with this wonderful post :-)
