I see pictures of places I can only dream of traveling to Of the milky way across the mountains Slanted purple blue rings that run across the stars like rivers The stars like rocks intermediately scattered between the colors Of pink sunrises with gold flecks of sunshine And dark blue sunsets with silver reminders of the stars Mountain cut-outs of a silhouetted journey The complete silence of our own universe My whispers muted by your chest as you hold me And just as no one knows how many stars are in the sky, I can never quite express how much I love you I count the colors within your eyes but get lost every time The invisible rings of Jupiter that dance along your pupils There are too many layers of jagged lines to keep track of The footprints on the moon will be there for 100 million years But your hand print on my cheek will linger longer We wrote our own adventures between the constellations Connect the stars and even the big dipper cannot contain my heart Wandering through the astrological maps of us within your eyes Your palms hold the moon and the earth Your eyes have the fiery dance of the sun Your words have the gravity of a black hole That I fall into without a stumbling doubt We whisper true nothings into the night And our breath clouds into our own nebulas That form the stars we point at in the dark sky And dream of being part of them as we laugh into the air And yours shines brighter than the moon above us And as the sun lifts and the moon sinks down We tell each other the secrets we only speak in our dreams The orange blue colors lift in a smooth pallet As we reach our hands towards the velvet sky The jet streams scar the morning with white lines And we trace our fingers along where the colors meet Holding each others hands and hearts As the night melts into the day And I have discovered a new planet called "Happiness" Within the universe called "Us"
My boyfriend is the president of the astronomy club at our school, and I really love him, so I wrote this. I'm gonna show it to him someday... someday I will, just maybe not today.
