“Rearrange The Stars”
The type of love most probably visualize in their fantasies or dreams, is a great way to sum up this masterpiece built of pure blissful ardor and the sparkling gold of his unconditional heart! Truthfully, any reasonable woman who understands the value of love and how much it means for a man to actually express it, boldly, with such sincerity, will absolutely sink into this poem’s comforting bed of promises - easier than quicksand! But - indeed, the submission would be well worth it...and we can’t guarantee that this poetic love-bomb won’t take your breath away! So, warning to readers: Shield your hearts and be prepared for the most beauteous images of true love before turning the next page with this one!
A classic, common, and notable subject, the power of absolute love ushers us into a world where sparks fly and skies glow with the mystical after-mist of shooting stars. This poem prompts us to ask: Is love overrated, as some may explain?
Surely, when it comes to love every heart is unique, nonetheless, we strongly believe this poem is a glorious reminder of just exactly why some may say that it is.
In this piece, Author Kyle Coare doesn’t relent in expelling his heart’s contents, which clearly spell out the meaning of, ‘in love’ and ‘true love,'' as he thrives off the deep admiration and endearment he feels for this special someone his heart adores, so much, that he will even attempt to rearrange the stars to go over and beyond to prove and display his piety! Why would anyone with a heart reject this powerful kind of love in their life?
One of our favorite and signature verses from this piece says;
“I would climb to space, rearrange the stars
Spell out words from the heart
To sparkle on your eyes below
To light up the sky with love on show…”
Then, towards the poem’s conclusion he says;
“I’d move rivers until they spell out a special verse
A poem that you can traverse…”
Saying this seemingly to testify to his own limits of unwavering devotion, which in reality, is limitless. The thought of this kind of love has an intoxicating effect on the heart and would honestly probably leave even a frowning Grinch starry-eyed!
As with this poem, we encounter many others alike that do a superb job at bringing out the Author’s talent and gift of storytelling as in the following poem, “A Leaf in the Autumn Breeze; a poem that illustrates a journey of freedom by merely the image/symbol of a leaf (nature), ” speaking directly to readers through the artistic language of metaphors, imagery, and similes as provided in the following verse and example;
“Across grand expanses the leaf advances
Like it’s on a wave in a vast ocean
Glides in magical dances,
Under the beauty of the sky, always in motion.”
In its simplest form, one sees a leaf; one that floats like a flower’s petals in the wind, flutters like a butterfly, and drifts like a sailboat across the sea, in a sense, indicating a strong expression or form of freedom, voyage, and liberation, which can essentially be connected and interlinked in a literal manner to a specific journey, emotion, or personality.
Organized and well laid-out, reader’s will experience the rush of each season while traveling through its pages, from summer to winter, to spring to fall, in which we realize just how well life and people mirror the concept and cycle of the seasons and how they change (also how their moods and atmospheres artistically reflect humans and our reactions/patterns), whether it is a season of hot, zealous passion (indicating summer) or a time of painful winter ice-cold (indicating winter), the poems in this book are remarkable stories of the emotive and humanistic
characteristics the world around us portray; rebirth (spring); passion (summer); golden dreams (autumn); wastelands of ice ( winter).
This book is definitely one of our favorites from the Author and we are glad to present it with a 5-star rating. Author Kyle Coare is both an artist and a poet in this collection, creating specially for the heart, mind, body, and soul. Beautiful work, Kyle!
