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

To be a star
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

Galaxy Love
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.

Star-crossed
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 -

The garden of midnight (a repose)
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

Starchild Part II
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?

Visitation
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.
