"starfires" poems
I want you to know
My life goes on without you
My world still turns
My sun still rises
I don’t need you.
But,
I want you.
If you come back
From wherever you went,
Come back to me.
Your eyes lit the starfires
Your hands smoothed the clouds
You drew my sky bright with chalk,
And now it’s filled with rain.
I brought an umbrella
So I’m alright.
But I’d be so much better,
Happier, healthier
If you were here,
With me.

I write in the dark by the light of the street lamp outside
about your face and how it gleams like starfires.
Documentation of beauty must be imprinted on my mind like law.
I write in the dark by the light of your smile.
