Supernova

Emotive, powerful, well written - I'm only sorry that your pain is so real.

David xxx :--)

I can only echo David's words. A beautifully crafted poem, showcasing your wonderful gift for imagery, illustrated by this stanza particularly:-

"Your gravity, your touch -
is all too much to bear
and I'm burning, blazing
with a thousand crazy gasses..."

Yes, the analogy you make is a very good one. All those explosions going on in space that are too huge to imagine and yet seem distant and meaningless. And all these explosions that go on inside us that are in many ways still more vast. Or something like that ... Wonderful.

Thanks Tina! I think those are some of my favourite lines too :)

Thank you Rob! I think you're very right about our own explosions in comparison to the real astronomical ones ;) Glad you like this one!

Magic xxx

Thank you, David! Aww you don't have to be sorry - that's just me, I have done and will sacrifice my own sanity for the sake of some people! ;)

Magic, I felt this so much it hurt, but those huge inner explosions are marvellous sometimes aren't they? K xxxx

Thanks Kahdai! Indeed, I think that's what keeps me going is the good feelings that can come from someone as well as the bad ones ;)

Magic xxx

Keeps you going yes, :) the emotions that are too huge to fit inside are the only ones worth worrying about :) xxx

This is beautiful , Magic x You are such a talented poet x It is always a pleasure to read x:)

Aww thank you Firebird! I'm so happy my poetry means something to you and thank you for your loyal reading and commenting ;)

Magic xxx

Sorry I am so late Magic! This has many beautiful images I particularly like the flashing light at the end. I love how direct this is, it makes it very emotive and truthful for the reader.

"This is my gift: death. Decay.
Because of you I'm wasting away,
inside out. It hurts like hell -
but isn't this pain glorious? Addictive?"

I can relate..;)

Thank you Beeme XX

You don't need to thank me Beeme! ;) Though I'll admit I did think you would like this one so I'm very happy you can relate! Thank you for the wonderful comment!

you've, as usual, crafted some fantastic and emotive images, and this is a very effective piece. however, everything you've described is before the actual supernova, but the first line states that you all ready are such. perhaps keep the title, but change the first line?
just a thought... :)

Hey Jason! Glad you like this one :) About the first line ... I can plead ignorance in the fact that I am in no way 'sciencey' but I kinda already figured that I'd need to use some poetic license when it came to astro-physics, so maybe for now I'll claim 'poetic-license' ;)

I forgot to say earlier, although I'm sure its only a matter of time before this gets cherry picked, you get a cherry from me :-)

Beeme xx

Cheers Beeme! What sweeter cherry is there than one from a reader? ;) Although, not to curse it or anything - 'Supernova' is part of a poetic trilogy which consists of 'Remainders', 'Untouchable' and 'Supernova' - and the other two never got picked! Just wonder if there's a trend? ;)

Magic xxx

They both get a cherry from me.'Untouchable' is one of my favourites of yours too ;)

Beeme xx

You're too kind, Beeme ;) But I'm really glad you think so - and I think all three are in my top twenty personal favourites!

Magic xxx

out comes the crystal ball again?
Brilliant as ever magic
;)

Another one that is, I'm afraid to say, not a work of fiction! But I always write best when I write about myself - there isn't a topic I know more about ;)

Magic xxx

sounds like you've been through a lot already. keep strong and keep writing - its always been my haven when life has taken a dump on me!
