#starchild
There are those in life
Who have given their best
Shot their best shot
Jumped their longest stride
Walked their longest mile
Ran their longest race
Climbed their highest peak
Although somehow they still haven't reached their destination
Haven't found their happy ending
But they still put their best foot forward
they rise after every fall and keep pushing
Until one day the find their answer
Until one day they turn dust into gold
Until one day they become the light at the end of the tunnel
They beam like a lighthouse
and show the world who they are made of, made of stardust
They shine bright like gemstones on the midnight blue sky
To be a star you need to embrace the darkness

I think I'm beginning to understand
That the galaxies under my skin
Were never made for public consumption
That the stars in my eyes
And the moonlight in my hair
Would be more than they could handle
That the planets within my veins
Would remained unexplored
Until the day that HE comes
And gets lost within
My milky way skin
and solar system mind
Too in love with my space
That he never wants to
Come back to the ground
More alien than human
It's the only way he'll survive
That's the only kind of love
I want
The kind that's out of this world

Reaching out across the stars,
we've had to fight since birth,
so that our burning avatars
could unite our lights on earth.
Arms raised not to withdraw
beneath the crying horizon,
a closing coup de grâce
where a shattered moon is rising.
Towards one another we race
with no space left to divide
the endless dancing embrace
of two worlds that finally collide.

Show me the secrets of your shadowy places, where the visage of men has not yet been.
Lead me to your garden in the grove amongst the pines, painted flaxen gold in dappled summer sun.
Show me your blooming petals and your fruiting trees. Let me harvest your abundance, caressed by honeyed fingers, cast long and low against the tree trunks, fading fire orange into vermillion, scarlet, crimson, and violet dusk.
In twilight turning, with Venus hung low on the horizon, and Scorpius rising from the southern hemisphere,
Trust my hand and follow blindly through the forest, over hobbled rotten logs, under branches reaching, eyes shielded from their grasping, scratching talons creeping sticky with cobweb and lichen,
Quietly toward the moonrise, eastward and down, upon a matted needle trail, softly trodden only ever
by you and by myself.
Wander with me, barefoot,
out, into the ether;
under the veil of our night-mother's gaze
and sublimate into the mist.
Lay with me in the clover beneath the starsign symphony
-Gaze upon its harmony and shimmering melody-
Inhale the acrid sweet scent of our settling dew,
and reveal to me your many flowered truths
Show me your soul
set aflame
from love, and life, and pain.
Share yourself unequivocallly;
My Goddess and my muse, betrothed of imps and faerys
radiate upon me
- Become my revelry -

In the dark you tried to find me
My heart strung out upon the floor
Don’t help me
I have to do this on my own
My heart shattered and alone
Blasted out by your sunlight
But you see nothing but me on the floor
Not noticing the shards by your feet
Stars you saw once you see no more
And if anything
That makes me shatter deeper
Your lost sight a knife to the core
But even knowing our days of joy are over
That you lost your vision of care-
I fight
To save the galaxies exploded across the tile
My soul in little specks of starlight on the cold stone
I will save what’s left of me
For me and me alone
I am infinity broken
And infinitely broken
But I’ll fight to put this starchild back together
Just like the old days
When things were better

You’ve landed in my mind,
Meteor crashing into plain
Sight without any given
Warning - little did I expect
To find a crater in my heart
And a drive to fill the aching
Void
Your voice soft and dreamy,
Immortalized by memory:
The way words and truths
Roll off your tongue,
Cryptic creature, where
Are you from?
Where is your world,
What’s it like? I
Want to know,
But cannot go -
Why’s it that you
Captivate me so?

She jumps over cracks, there's an echo she is following
"I can hear you!"
She's awakening, she calls out to love
"I can hear you,"
She picks up her dress and runs a little faster, she cuts her tender
bare feet on the sharp rocks, but she does not feel the pain.
Light pours out of her heart. Some people are intimidated by the light that's resonating underneath her skin and say she's too much,
and believe she'll get lost in her wondering.
There's an echo she is following.
The voice shouts back, "i can hear you!"

A piece of the sky fell
And I was just lucky
enough
To catch it in my hands.
If only for a moment...
A moment that I will cherish,
Forever,
Six months of your love
I shall guard as close as treasure.
There is no measure
For just how deeply,
Or how completely,
You.
Are.
Missed.
A piece of the sky fell.
And the rain came.
And our tears fell.
And the blame came.
And our hearts fell.
And the world became
Coloured by pain.
A piece of the sky fell
And I was
just lucky enough
To hold it in my arms...
... I named him Tyson.
