The Garnet Star

Look up, behold the garnet star
High up in starry heavens far
Bright amber jewel that shines pristine
What ancient secrets have you seen
Over a distant desert void
Its crumbling castles, long destroyed
And ghostly armies passing by
Naught could escape your piercing eye
Bold crimson star, we're far apart
But your deep gaze enchants my heart
So radiate your mystery
That through the night, calls out to me
And please impart, I do appeal
Your mystic secrets to reveal.

Very atmospheric!!

I really enjoyed this one!! It conjured up great atmospheric appeal. I also thought that the rhyming technique was extremely creative, and am highly impressed by the overall conceptual design here. Quite crafty, indeed. Superb quality work!!

Hi Rex!

Thank you for your kind comments. Gazing at the bright red/orange star Betelguese (in Orion) inspired this poem. Stargazing has been an inspiration in a lot of my poetry.
