Eyes struggle, then start to fail As I tread an oft-forgotten trail While my dizzy thoughts retreat… I see these things, beyond the veil Grandad milks into a pail Then walks back home to eat I am a slowly crawling snail Sliding sticky on a rail Seeking a rotting treat I’m an up-and-arching whale Flukes up high, then smacking like a flail Spreading stars as waves retreat Next a startled, leaping quail Leaking feathers from...
I sat with my dad on the verge of the road, near the car. The night was cold and clear and the stars were falling like rain. "I wonder if there are other worlds," said dad, "Or if this is the only one?" The next day we visited the observatory. We stood in line and, one by one, were allowed to look through the giant telescope. "The planet you can see now is four million light years away," said the guide, "We believe it is...
When Bear returned from getting his lunch and marking the boundaries of his territory, Girl was again asleep in the rocking chair. One hand was trailing down the side, her head lolled against a shoulder, and she was drooling slightly. He stopped to look at her, and again shook his head. “Poor kid.” He gently picked her up and carried her into the great room of the cabin. She stirred, smiled, leaned her head against his ch...
Aren't they heavy and too bright to hold? They hover and twinkle in your eyes. What do they call from you lady? Surely they burn too hot. How they burden you. Do you need them? Do they guide your way? These fireflies, sparks of creation. In your lion heart, where does the fire dim and the spark begin? ... I ask you, can you see her there? A goddess. A woman. She blazes. Starfire in her hair.
The stars shineLighting up the skyFor me I seeThe stars in your eyesMessages like sweet perfumeYou send me love each dayMaking me know happiness and good cheerFor when I have you with meOut of sight you never areWatching you while you sleepShave and dressIs such a loving treatOur love grows each dayWith each passing hourI never get tired of youOur passions lights fires
Have you ever met the manBorn with a universe deep within.A home to stars and galaxiesWrapped in human skin.He can be still and quietA space devoid of noiseReminding you that silenceIs still eternity’s voice.When he does talk, it seemsAs if time chooses to pause,Basking in his brilliance,Before it chimes an applause.He loves with the passion,Of a million suns colliding.And he knows how a star,Shines bright when it’s dying...
As they walk together hand in hand The sun setting in the distance tonight Enjoying the moment as they stand Holding each other feels just right Hands are locked, fingers entwined The waves calm and in their reach The waves rush together and collide They walk together on the beach Summer nights dwindling by Fall days on the horizon Walking together with her guy Her boyfriend proposes with a diamond She accepts his wonderf...
The sun does not set onThis face of mine,Nor soar on wings of fire to me,Nor rush to greet me,Kiss me, leave me,Nor burn and scorch the skin from me.It is I who moves awayWithdrawnFrom light and lifeAll blazing bright andCloistered inMy rising run,The weight of spiritLeft behind.In darkness seeps the weeping soul,The river dry yetFlowing slow,Still, from diamond dropsI riseAnd leave the day to grow star-shocked.Not I,Not...
A beautifully warm evening spent with you At our favorite restaurant by the sea Enjoying time together is way overdue Tonight it's just you and me Stars shine in the evening light Tonight we see a shooting star Shining stars that shine so bright A man comes and strums his guitar Sweet music played here An evening filled with love A shooting star disappears Angels watching from above We enjoy our favorite wine And order a...
At times like this When the night time is long And the day time is short, You showed up. Whenever I look up I see you. You are in my east side Shining so bright. Colorful, Blue and green hue Blinking, hypnotizing me. They called you Venus, Godess of beauty. They are not mistaken. You are a beautiful thing to look upon. Some nights I can't find you. Other nights you are a show off. Like tonight. Sometimes I wish I c...
She lifted her head upwards to the blackened heavens. Her gaze fell upon the twinkling stars of the late evening. Her mind deep in troubled thoughts. As she watched the light show in the sky. She glanced away. A single tear wept from her eyes as she flickered her sight upwards once more. How could one man cause such wonderful feelings and such horrid nightmares? The stars reminded her of him but unsure why. As if ashamed...

Looking up at the moon and stars Always reminds me of you. Remembering conversations moments of fun and laughter. laying wrapped in your arms, in the back of your truck. You will always mean so much to me Because we were more than lovers We are best friends. You have stood by me And taught me so much. As you help me deal with my current events. Reminding me to have faith in myself No matter how low my moods get. You have...
Red. Blue. Red. Blue. Like gemstones, in this case sapphireand ruby, the lights sparkled rhythmically in the rearview mirror. It was almost hypnotic, save for the fact that it was hardly calming. “Twinkle, twinkle, little star. Two girls sitting in a car. Down below the night so grim. Like angels poised and prim.” Lucy did her best to keep her hands from shaking as she maneuvered her royal blue Ranger over to the curb and...
There were little fireflies in the dark sky, and that's how I knew it was nighttime. Momma called them stars, and I always loved looking up at them. There was also an enormous white will-o'-the-wisp that watched over the fireflies, but Momma called it the moon. Momma sometimes let me sit outside the place where we sleep to look up at the stars with her, and that's what I was doing now. The place was peaceful. Many others...
