I like to gaze upon the boundless night sky, and
Quietly count the vast sprinkling of stars,
That I may concern myself with a relaxing yet
Fruitless endeavor, and momentarily
Know nothing of the worlds’ turmoil:
I lightly raise my finger and trace another constellation,
As the world carries on without me.

Many points of light
shine through blue streaks of hoarfrost —
One star leads the way

so, if you happen to pass by,
be not an aurora but a meteorite.
crash gates and leave a mark,
meet me at a crater in my heart.

my bright burning star,
tell me about your journey,
where you travel high and far
to come to me again like Halley's.

i will watch you do wonders,
for my love does not tire.
even if the world is in reverse,
noir or iridescent, you love i.

I come from the dust,
once a part of a star,
A spark in the infinite,
a whisper from afar.

Each little piece,
scattered, set free,
Aiding the birth
of what’s yet to be.

From the fire of the cosmos,
to the earth's gentle fold,
I carry the stories
the universe told.

Now, as I breathe,
as I dream, as I grow,
I weave the great tapestry
in the threads that I sew.

A fragment of stardust,
yet whole in my place,
I am both the fleeting
and eternal embrace.

they keep the night up
the light glowing in the dark
its like sadness souls
up and about
over the moon they reach far to the back of the line
not everytime
such beauty they hold
fulfilling
peaceful and quiet
behold

No more shall I seek to linger on the silken loop of stars,
Nor will I play at dice in the moonlit, burning woods.
"Let it remain unsung"—the cuckoo’s sweet and lilting refrain;
Lend me but a fleeting shadow to soothe my weary soul.

At dawn’s tender crack, I will wander to the edge of the fading night,
Where the first light spills gently through its shimmering seam.
And though the day may falter, and twilight weep its soft return,
Grant me but a shade beneath the mole of your verdant grove.

She's a star shining
Brightly in a world
Of darkness.

I want to live as I have never lived,
As no one ever dared to live before!
To never fail, and in a fight so fierce,
Forgive the ones who wounded to the core.

I want to love as I have never loved,
As no one ever dared to love so true!
To grow my heart as wide as all the world,
And reach with love those hearts that never knew.

I want to cry as I have never cried,
As no one ever dared to cry so deep!
With tears to drown the cursed, relentless pain,
And all who cause such grief with hearts that weep.

I want to burn as I have never burned,
As no one ever dared to burn so bright!
To blaze within, a distant, guiding star,
And show the way to peaks beyond the night.

I want to hold the Earth within my arms,
As no one ever dared to hold its span!
To feel as one with all the world around,
And conquer time’s relentless, fleeting hand.

I want to live as I have never lived!

Some days I am Van Gogh's starry night,    
other days I am his parting letters.

If she were a celestial,
And I among constellations -
Then she would be the sun,
And I the moon.
Then I would be a star,
And her a heavenly angel.
Then I would beam brightly
At the mere presence of her.
Whenever needed,
Never receded
Neither eclipsed,
The light shone would be ours together
No matter the luminous object.
From the pledge of our marriage
There is a beauty so rapturous
In a love bathed to our family,
Fellow friends & strangers
To whom too are showered
In light of our joy & happiness.
