Unknown, unidentified, unheard and
yet unbothered.

Unfiltered, uncensored, uncentered and
yet uninhibited.

Unrestricted, unrestrained, unleashed and
yet unencumbered.

Unastonished, unimpressed, undazzled and
yet unabashed.

.
To the ever-lustrous Starlet—

Should I miss the fireworks,
Would you then save me a dance?
For when the stars would align,
for the afterlight,

and one just bow in the starlight?

And its captivating constellation.

Should hope flee and wane:
When the sparkles pass over
and stars reflected no longer
by the shore, in the afterlight,

Would you return my bargained sight?

Where falls your shimmering stardust?

Should we see a downpour by the starlight
and be drenched agleam under the moonlight,
Should I miss the excitement cascading
and the silken-moon cast in your eyes,

Will you tell me and speak of the light?

Upon my crown; by the eventide? If at all—

A glimpse, of that one look ever-bright;
(A tint of honesty, on those rosy cheeks;)

for when I love you so.
(for when you love me so.)

If your waltz would let the heavens rest undazzled.
