Thoughts and feelings
send me reeling
they reside in my head
and will pass only when I'm dead

When look into your eyes
The stars come alight
Twinkling
From afar

No darkness could ever bear
The luminescence of your stare

I wish I could close
The time and space
The light years
Between us

But I am no God
I gaze
I wonder
I long

And so by day
I bide the time
Hoping that yet again
I will see you at night

You are a puzzle to me
I am a puzzle to you?
Am I a puzzle to me

Pieces don't fit
What fits aren't pieces

No edges to begin with
No center to end

Where does it start?
How does it end?

When I looked into your eyes
A thousand battles waged
You were afraid to die
Yet not prepared to lie

Your words sounded the alarm
A world in peril
A body shaken
Your happiness had been taken

I wish I could heal all your wounds
Fend off the darkness that looms

But I am so far away
You are the night sky
As I am the day light

Slowly it descended into the depths
Its hull integrity, not much left
The crew became captives
prayers left unanswered

a moment ago they were hunting steel
With an arrow many a fate would seal
But on this occasion they were
betrayed
By an invisible sonar wave

Their foe consecrated a watery grave
The sea only happy to oblige

Light passes on to dark
The creaking coffin
As those below
Bid their new host welcome

I watched her eyes
like I gazed at the stars
trying to discover
the constellations of her heart

I watched with wonder and awe
how she glowed and smoldered in the light
while only appearing cold as comet ice

Her sight ravished me to no end
as she gracefully lit the night sky
but saddened I couldn't reach her
I could not fly
