Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #17

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 undying love, theatrical heartbreak, and the emotional writing that keeps memories alive.

(Authors Note)




17. Realization her love won’t die

And so I have been doomed, to walk this earth

Without my love by my side,

Cursed to live

And write letters unheard




Poetry on the Margins #17 Melodramatically laid, on display

About the painting —
I think one tit should show.
And maybe,
a bit
of an ankle?

(referring to the last poem)
