#stargaze
distance in screens
your eyes hollow
stars convene
refusal to wallow
absent in emptiness
lost in translation
never expecting us
a brittle foundation
a whisper of change
heaviness of doubt
you're acting so strange
loneliness without
forever and always
till worms in the dirt
reminders when i stargaze
frozen and inert

We don’t need grand gestures to feel complete,
You kiss my forehead, I fall back to sleep.
You laugh at the way I burn all the toast,
But you still say, “You’re who I love most.”
We hold hands walking down quiet streets,
And talk about names for future kids.
It’s not perfect, but it’s our thing—
And the stars… they’ve seen everything.
They’ve watched the nights we stayed up late,
Dreaming about our wedding day.
They’ve seen us laugh, they’ve seen us cry,
But they still know we’ll be alright.
They’ve watched the way we kiss in the rain,
And how we let go of the pain.
They whispered, “This love is here to stay,”
And they twinkled brighter every day.
The stars know everything,
How you hold me close when the world feels too loud,
The way you smile when I’m lost in a crowd.
They twinkle soft when you say my name,
And I know it’s always been the same.
Yeah, the stars know everything,
How we dance in the quiet, hearts full of grace.
In every moment, in every embrace,
They shine brighter when we’re face to face.
We watch our favorite movies every Sunday night,
Eating pizza, laughing ‘til the morning light.
You make fun of the way I scream at the screen,
But I love how you’re right there, it’s a perfect scene.
We debate over which film we’ll choose,
But in the end, we always win, no matter the views.
It’s the little things that make me fall for you,
Like watching cheesy rom-coms ‘til we’re through.
They’ve seen the nights we stayed up long,
Talking ‘bout where we belong.
They’ve watched us laugh, they’ve watched us fall,
But they know we’ll rise through it all.
They’ve seen the way we kiss through the rain,
And how we turn our hurt into gain.
They whispered, “This love is here to stay,”
And they’ll guide us every step of the way.
The stars know everything,
How you hold me close when the world feels too loud,
The way you smile when I’m lost in a crowd.
They twinkle soft when you say my name,
And I know it’s always been the same.
Yeah, the stars know everything,
How we dance in the quiet, hearts full of grace.
In every moment, in every embrace,
They shine brighter when we’re face to face.
When the world shatters and the night feels too long,
I’ll hold you close, where we both belong.
In the chaos, you’re my calm, my light,
You’re the only reason I’m still fighting this fight.
Every tear that falls, every heartache we bear,
I’ll carry it all, as long as you’re there.
You are my anchor, my breath, my fire,
Every moment with you takes me higher.
When the storm rages, we’ll stand through the rain,
I’ll love you louder, in spite of the pain.
We’ll build our world with every scar,
No matter how far, we’ll be who we are.
And in your eyes, I see my home,
With you, I’m never alone.

and from a distance
i counted the pigments etched on your face,
your mother was a good painter.
in the windows of my eyes,
i connected the dots,
traced them,
articulated them,
to the point i found big dipper
near the creases
of your eye brows,
i found orion
beside the stretch of your smile,
and virgo
rested against your cheek.
you brought the entire
constellation in this room.
and from a distance,
i stargazed.

Sole stars shine together in a nightly swirl
sharing light with the collective whorl as each wink in turn.
I am only my mother's son in this moment.
As is everyone a bright point in the lineage of our family,
looking up at a familiar heavenly mirror.
Even the heavens fade.
Minds reflect this godly tact.
Entropy is a fact that we fight
or are we acting?
Afraid to admit how warm the cold's embrace?
How law dictates we hold opposing states.
Clinging silence saturates space between bodies,
between sparks of life.
Fretful existentialism balanced by... nothing.
Whole galaxies begin, then submit,
when only a simple hello reaches me past the moonlight.
The dead quadrillions, beckoning. (More?)
Countless hellos overwhelm.
Connecting with the universe through metaphor is beautiful
but after all, we are only human.
Messy in our emotion.
The restless observer should practice patience, find peace
under heaven.
Stoic stars accept a proper pace of degrade.
Us people struggle
to fade with grace.

a twinkle in my mezzo
is a wrinkle in this forte
where flatulent is an eggplant
but virulent is my phone
that screamed from my soul
as she'd walk in a box of rings
that made me sing her too
With sheet of tears did blanket
Around her bed of posies alas
if heart truss sung to their content
tonight the hour grew dark in Jodrell Bank
as this virtue of love did radio a Lovell
and sealed my fate in spite of her again

ensconced in perpetual darkness, you sleep
restless dreams orbit your mind
yet comfort cannot be found
Pluto, the loneliest planet
not even the Sun can touch you
high school textbooks disregard you
the stars will never glimmer for you
Pluto, the loneliest planet
but have faith
dreamers and late night romantics understand you
god of the underworld exalts you, brother of darkness
New Horizons will arrive shortly, a friend for
Pluto, the loneliest planet

i remember looking
into your eyes
every night,
before i close mine;
like how i remember
the glow-in-the-dark stickers
when i was a child
back in my old room:
it was a mesmerizing
stargaze
that i
fell in love with,
that made me feel so
nostalgic

I had the stars to gaze upon
To escape to when I feel I have not won
An endless beauty one can soak in for hours
Within the nature as the wind rustles the trees and flowers
Then life changed and I could not see my stars
I could only see lights and the sound of the cars
I lost my escape and fell into a abyss
Where all I could do is see the stars when I reminisce
Then I met a woman with that glimmer
A glimmer that I knew and my spine let out a shiver
In time I saw her soul
And in her soul, I found them shinning and whole
I found the black canvas in her eyes
I found the colors in her beauty
I found the shine in her soul
She and only she became my new escape
Where I can always see my stars
I can even see them with the lights and cars

I found myself on your car with you, our bodies intertwined.
We'd gaze up at the infinte stars.
One was yours and one was mine.
Now I find myself on my bed alone,
My pillow soaked straight through.
I gaze alone now, on my infinite tears,
which all belong to you.

A white room hues ocean blue as the sun rises, with a ceiling that screamed to be stared at on another sleepless night. But I continue to see her face like a constellation, and I grow weary, and I grow lonely.
These stars don't shine down on me, in spite of how beautiful they glow; they stared in a most disconcerting way. And I cannot wish upon them, I can only stargaze, and hope that someday they'll no longer gaze back.

For the constellation you claim to be, allow me to stargaze beneath your sheets.

As you radiate across the sky;
I cant help but wonder,
Am i staring to a real sparkle?
As i lay eyes upon your shine;
And be fascinated by your glow,
I determined that you are just a mimic of a genuine luminous sphere.
Nothing more , nothing less.
