Celestial Rhapsody Poem by Harun Al Nasif

Celestial Rhapsody

Rating: 4.5


Once my heart set itself on the flame of celestial rhapsody
with the flutter of its luminous wings of lustre
it triggered a turbulence in the firmament
smashing the sphere of stellar waves it went wild in its axial fury
amid the waltzing gala of swimming stars.

Henceforth
growing into a fireball and then a giant supernova
in a fête of transit blowing itself up
it erupted joyous scarlet ecstasy of its forge
exhausting exuberance inexorably in the eternity
it went through a cryptic crunch to be solidified with the gravity
and reduced to super-dense ultra-heavy lump of a dwarf

Henceforth
absorbing all the neighboring cosmic venom
in the niche of time turning into blue-necked charred carcass
of a deceased star
with the mummy of memory
wrapped up in a sachet of sorrow in the chest of its breast
it bears the ignominy languishing eon after eon
lying beneath the frozen light with eyes wide open
the in-satiate fossil of the sanguine soul of an obscure lover.

Right away, I like the title of this writing. Some of your lines can be condenced into more distinct visuals. Here again, it's subjective to how much illumination you feel captures the moment. You also want to watch how you catch on to the drawbacks of falling in love in the unplumbed depths of the end result. Overall, I think you have a very rich premium of wording which provides lots of force in meaning.

It's a love poem, an ethereal love that spans the whole universe dancing the celestial dance, creating the galaxy, the supernova, the dwarf star et all. The language is awesome and the momentum lightning. At times the expression has ascended to a dizzy height, but somehow the poet couldn't sustain that height all through the poem. Still, here's an excellent English poet going to be born. I feel proud of the poem. - -

An exhilarating ride through space and language. The use of alliteration (triggered a turbulence; smashing the sphere; the mummy of memory) is well done, and appropriate. This is a poem that many native English-speakers would do well to take note of.
