POEM STARTER
Submitted by em_andherbooks
Write a poem that describes the longing of a reader who falls hopelessly in love with a fictional character.
Far Away Galaxy
Somewhere far away in a galaxy,
I met your golden eyes—
Like crystals shining between the stars,
Like a milky way in disguise.
We danced across red-dusted moons,
You laughed, and time stood still,
I flew a ship safe between you arms,
Through the hush where pretend feels real.
With every page turn in my hands,
A new adventure begins.
Me and you,
Until the end
Through star dust where darkness wins.
My love,
I wish I called it a happy end,
Wish we flew a ship.
Somewhere off in a fairyland.
I wish you’d known,
I wish you stayed with me.
But you’re made of stars and celluloid,
Just out of reach.
And I—
I’m here alone
With nothing else,
But a book with memories.
