The colour orange speaks
In the dark sky their lights I saw
For the good of mankind
Not for All mankind
But for the man who is kind

Glass-winged moths hover,
opal figs drip milky dusk,
stars hum, ripe with light.

The Moon was a quiet soul,
With not much to smile for.
But oh, the Sunny shade was no bore,
Of course, she was loved by the universe.

The love they shared capsuled
Them in their own galaxy;
The galaxy the little Star
Was oblivious to.

Oh, the Star
Quiet and awkward.
All she meant
Was trouble and boredom.

How she longed to touch the Moon,
To smile and be smiled at,
To love and be loved.
But of course she was too naive.

She was just a young Star,
Too absorbed in her reveries.
She was just a tiny Star,
Invisible compared to the mighty Sun.

When the Moon told the Star
Of his love, she flushed,
Thinking all his poetry was a
Reference to the tiny Star.
But alas, she wasn’t the only star.

Then the eclipse arrived
And the Moon and the Sun
Shared their beautiful kiss.
The Star, however, could not share
Her confusion, so she cheered along.

Of course the Sun was brighter than her,
The Sun was warmer, wiser.
The Sun was everything the moon needed;
The Sun was everything the silly star could not be.

Let’s make love under the stars,
Jupiter and Mars
If you can hold the stars in space
Setting motion our time and place
Into the deepest depths and
darkest nights
I’ll follow you down

Through the cosmic dance, we'll sway
Our love, a gravitational pull, each day
In the silence of the universe's roar
Our hearts will beat together, forever more

In the celestial tapestry, we'll weave
Our love, a shining thread, to forever leave
A constellation of memories, bright and true
Guiding us forward, my love,
I'll follow you.
It’s the season of love.

Orbit

Put a satellite into orbit;
The galaxy will watch it with the stars.

The ones set in place for all to see
Tell us stories of who you are.

The influence of this earthly planet,
The way the gravitational force occurs.

In astronauts’ celestial explorations,
This space full of stars is yours.

The way the Earth orbits the biggest and brightest star.
Is the way this satellite orbits among the moon.

Never stopping to settle down,
But knowing this satellite is orbiting around.

Always moving,
I’ll never stop waiting.

The satellite will be coming back around again for me.

Astra memories play forth in my head.
Star showers create endless wishes.
Plasmoid cycle their cosmic colors.
Seraphic tones turn into ethereal melodies.

Celestial trails in the dark wilderness.
Empyrean trees drop their light leaves.
Transcendental visuals of the night heavens.
Diaphanous veils of tranquilly allow my eyes to see.

Sheer emotion alloy.
Paradisiacal vessel of the expanding universe.
Expedition of endless wonder.
Fathomless destinations to reach.
To the beyond of the mind.

you were the moon, silver and serene,
orbiting my star in the vast unseen,
ww danced in celestial reverie,
two souls entwined in eternity.

ethereal nights, where time stood still,
we wove our dreams with tender skill,
each word, a constellation we cast,
a universe of moments too perfect to last.

but i, the shadow, the lingering storm,
brought chaos to your tranquil form,
a poison i didnt know i poured,
a wound i didnt know you bore.

now you are gone, a phantom glow,
an echo of light i’ll never know,
and ii remain, a relic, forlorn,
a keeper of memories, hollow and worn.

i wander through friendships, faces anew,
they laugh, they love, they call my name,
vut in their warmth, ifeel the same
empty, hollow, a vessel unwhole,
a drifting star with a fractured soul.

perhaps i was cruel, the toxin, the bane,
the weight in your heart, the cause of your pain.
was iever good, or just a façade?
a tempest cloaked in a smile’s charade?

i am trapped in the past, unable to flee,
bound by the chains of what used to be.
the memories cling, they whisper and weep,
their voices haunting the silence i keep.

iwish i could turn back the celestial tide,
to the nights where you stood by my side,
to hold the time, to freeze its flow,
to never let the fractures grow.

but you have flown to brighter spheres,
where pain dissolves, and love adheres.
i hope you’ve found a kinder sun,
a softer light to call you home.

now for me, i drift in the endless night,
a lonely star, dimmed of its light,
hoping one day, the cosmos will see,
the better person i just long to be.
i’m sorry.

If she were a celestial,
And I among constellations -
Then she would be the sun,
And I the moon.
Then I would be a star,
And her a heavenly angel.
Then I would beam brightly
At the mere presence of her.
Whenever needed,
Never receded
Neither eclipsed,
The light shone would be ours together
No matter the luminous object.
From the pledge of our marriage
There is a beauty so rapturous
In a love bathed to our family,
Fellow friends & strangers
To whom too are showered
In light of our joy & happiness.

Cloaked in a tapestry of evening sky
I dim my light to hide amongst the masses
If only for one night

You are the morning light
Streaming through the gauzy curtains that dress my window
Striping my skin in ribbons of sunshine
I am the canvas of your dawn.
You are the cool flame that shoots across the sky
Every night that my thoughts settle upon your sweet face
Brilliantly throwing itself through the darkness of late evening
I am the one who wishes for you.
You are the craters in the moon
Imperfect and untouched
Leaving identical impactions on my heart
I search for your face in the glow of her own.
You are the fervent blazing of the sun
Radiating love that scorches the flesh
Shining down on me like beams of genuine joy
I am infinitely grateful for your eternal reverberation of tenderness.
she's everything...
