Falling Stars

Looking up into the stars of heaven
shining brightly
Brings wishes for
another level of love
Loving me
Laughing with me
not at me
not about me
Compassionate soul
forgiving
forgetting of
wrongs long since passed
Love lost furlong
Empty emotions
Desire stub
starts a life
each star could light
a fire in my heart
And let its light shine deep within me
Gaining back the youthful lust
Laughter’s fuller
Believing in the unbelievable
Entering into a world only
dreams could bring about
Feeling the warmth from a fire long since burnt out
Never holding with deep emotions
Lost believing things could be different
As the stars fall
falling down
on meadows of ashes
