Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #15

Poetry fragments on a vintage-style open book background with a raven and black cat illustration. The left page reads 'On the Margins of the First Draft' and features the website name 'ofstardustandthebeasts.com' in gothic script. The right page contains handwritten reflections about love, poetry, and the soul, with ink splatters across the parchment, creating a raw, emotional, Victorian-inspired aesthetic.

Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft — a reflection on emotional writing, longing, and the desire to preserve fleeting feelings through art.

(Authors Note)




15. In Desperation she cried

What is the worth of my love

If I can not paint the city walls

With the colour of his eyes




Poetry on the Margins #15 The Worth of My Love

It’s the writer’s ache —
to immortalize this feeling of admiration,
desperation, longing, ache.

Whatever you wanna call it — it is.

Otherwise, what was this feeling worth?
If I can’t create from it,
grow with it,
carry it with me,
remember it…

Did it even
exist?
