As it lingers across the sea.
Are we staring at the same shooting star?
Do you feel the very same wind that blew upon my face.
How about the rain that started to fall?
Or maybe only in my mind...

Always on my mind...
Across the sea
Tired of thinking
Wind upon my face
Rain that started to fall
Waiting for the shootingstar

I witnessed it, watched you fall to your knees.
Beautiful and charming, your end brought about
A new kind of night in which
The stars shine brighter (for you, my dear)
And the moon is more full, illuminating your path, once taken,
Now empty of travelers. But the things you accomplished in your
Quiet violence don't matter, you are gone.
But what matters when, in your final descent,
I watched a small child wish upon you
And your mark across the sky?
This is for you. You are a star, and when you fall, people wish on you.
You're never as brave
As you think you are.
Not until you wear your
Courage like a permanent scar.
Don't forget the impossible
Is never really that far
And dreams can be reached
By wishing on a shooting star.
You can only be as brave
As you
 believe *you are.
For a friend dealing with some stress, I'm here for you. Always. ❤
Words with ink
         Have not gotten me far
    They may have
            touched souls
   But they've left
              on my heart
      An unshakable scar
                 Cut up
            and bruised
A flaming meteoroid
       Calling itself a
    shooting star
Yet nothing more
     Than a
        disinegrating rock
Falling too far
         These
     words I rhyme
Simply show my only value
              Through this
I know
          where you are
      Falling from space
Into nothingness
            My shooting star
     Finally a remedy
           Healing
     the brokenness
               Of a
            love from afar


                  it

It's a nightmare
Being the burnt out
Shooting star
Replaced by the light
Of a full moon

It's a nightmare
Being hidden underneath
Clouds and overcast skies
Replaced by angel eyes
That makes you swoon

It's a nightmare
Being darkened
By nights that glow
Replaced by a shooting star
Brighter than you ever were

It's a nightmare
Being overshadowed
By dreams of the sun
Replaced by love,
Hope, joy, life... **with her

My dream is like a thousand stars above

So hard to reach but still I'd like to try

And if I follow them into the sky

I'd reach the shooting star of what I love

I gave an idle
Skyward glance,
When night is blackest
Blue,
There flared a meteor,
Long as a blink,
Through
My atmosphere.
It helped,
I think,
That I recalled,
How you once
Caught my eyes.

There are stars out tonight but they aren't nearly as bright as they were the night we laid on cool concrete connecting the dots and creating our own constellations.
I stare at them longingly, waiting for one to fall into my hands so I may swallow it and fill my insides with the glimmering energy I felt with you.
I try to find a shooting star but the city lights won't give me a wish so instead I close my eyes and map out our own night sky, bored with the fading cosmos above me.
Our stars aren't stationary, they sail through the sky like lost ships attempting to find their way to the island that is the moon.
Our stars are gas molecules, fleeting through the fixed space running into each other but not caring enough to stay for awhile.
Our stars take the shape of your calloused hands and I reach for them wanting to get lost in the twisting blue avenues on your wrists.
Our stars fall on top of me, cutting off my oxygen supply and drowning me in the process. I open my mouth to let them in and absorb their sweet taste, overflowing with spirits and making my insides radiate intensity.
Whatever was written in our stars is now written in the freckles on my cheeks, the lines on my face, and the depths of my pupils.
Come closer and star gaze.
