Stardust for Butterfly Wings

By Diana C.

``When the heart becomes lyric
and spreads on the paper(...)``

poems are born. They were written in blood and blue tears to give birth to this little book. It is a drop of my endless soul, thoughts and feelings in figures of speech. It has mostly blue poems, but it also has encouraging poems about love and hope and not giving up, fighting to reach for the stars. A dream come true, a long-lasting project started from the love for freedom, life and hopefully, joy as well. The wings of my thoughts, my way of expression. The wish to leave something beautiful behind.
It was created hoping that it will also help others stay strong. From the depths of my mind and the bottom of my heart to all of you who still like poetry that makes you feel something...
``A thousand dreams inside me
softly burn like stars(...)
Another world of freedom, joy & kindness
grows inside me...
But whats a star in this infinity?
What are we, but stardust
sparkling through eternity? (...)``

Diana C.

I have always been in love with books. I used to spend my summers reading and it is still one of my favorite activities. Poetry has always been an escape for me, a means of expressing myself , giving me the freedom of playing with the words as I pleased.

Trapped soul

Winter 2009

          The soul of a child trapped in a woman’s body.

          Sometimes, giddy twitches playfully

          smiling sprightly from behind

          a maiden’s hazel eyes.

          My immature and restless soul

          can’t find its peace.

          Realist? Silent? Absent?

          Maybe never. My mirror to day-dreaming.

          An authentic and incomplete puzzle,

          waiting to be solved…
