You are the 'North America' nebula
in all your splendor and colors
I am the remains of a supernova,
even NASA has long discarded,
exploded spectacularly-ancient Chinese recorded-
yet still alive, for you to admire!
wearily I view the star forming clouds
chomping through the cosmos,
enchanting still, I guess, I am, for a swirling landscape of stars
like you to profess your love;
I am overwhelmed, but this absurd drama
will eventually plunge us in to dark holes.
My darling, the cosmic dance has no rules;
pain in murky regions of star formation,
iridescent display of dead stars seeming to remain ever,
love, loss, collision, birth or rebirth
no apparent reason for anything, being and nothingness
too are kaleidoscopic, just creations of auto suggestion.
