Sustenance of Stars
Our love leaks through mist
that falls through the cracks
of Heaven’s tapestry of stars.
Stardust flows through veins
bleeds through heartbeats
courses through universe
like a ruffled breeze in water
hiding shyly from sunshine.
Illuminating night sky
with flashlights of peace.
Stardust sprinkles our skin
and dusts our eyelashes
links our lips with sparkles
cosmos in our crevices.
Sustenance of stars.
Starlight, Starbright
Starlight, Starbright
First star I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might
Live to see the Morning Light
Starlight, Starbright
A gift from God, natural nightlight
A vow you won't be in the dark all alone
His grace and mercy will lead you home
Starlight, Starbright
A kiss from Satan, a seductive invite
She should be sleeping, but temptation calls
Cover of darkness, to temptation he falls
Starlight, Starbright
Bastard children, the Sunshine's blight
Promiscuous Sunshine, spreads his seed
To his responsibilities, he pays no heed
Starlight, Starbright
Accompany the Moon, join her every night
She nurtures the stars, she is their mother
Chasing the Sun, their Father, her Lover
Starlight, Starbright
A whimsical folly, accidental delight
Natural phenomenon, such lovely beings
A fluke of nature is all we are seeing
Starlight, Starbright
Wish I may, wish I might
Unknown composition, yet still I believe
I wish on your glow, my wish you receive
,
starlight song
in sixteen dreams i saw your words
morph into a silent song,
and fifteen second glances led
them back to right where we belong.
in fourteen paper planes i flew
my heart to you with hope and fear,
and thirteen pieces of my broken
soul told me that love was near.
in twelve rays of brilliant light
that mirrored off your splendid eyes
eleven thoughts like burning birds
flew graceful across darkened skies.
with ten whispered words you told me,
“wait and watch the fire bright!”
and nine whole minutes crumbled
in the fingertips of dancing light.
eight fiery pieces of your
broken heart you gave to me.
seven sang a song of loss
to blue jays on the hanging tree.
six and there was none but
you and i in time and space.
five whole minutes, “wait,” you said,
then let our fingers burn like lace.
in four dark nights we burnt to life,
we burnt to death ’til we were free.
three star lights, they led the way
to for evermore for you and me.
thus, two lost souls united here and
sparked the flame of freedom bright
and one charred flake of stardust floated
smoldering into the night.
Stars of Many Promises
Every tear that is shed,
Every wish that has been spoken,
Hopes and prayers of every generation
Will be heard by the heavens
And reserved by the stars.
They are made witnesses;
Constant and always watching
Crumbling civilizations and
Prosperous empires.
Created by a promise:
A promise to the lonesome,
A promise to the broken,
A promise to an isolated Earth,
Adrift in the chaos of time and space;
A promise that life will get better,
And it always does.
Shine
On my veranda I look to the sky
I watch as the colors fade and
lightenin' bugs fly.
The music of the evenin' fills the air
then they appear from way up there.
The night sky is full of all the beautiful
Bright lights of all the Souls who have
Gone on before. They're up there waiting
for us to come across the shore.
See their faces? How brightly they shine?
That's how much they love you
and they are simply awaiting for your time.
The lights they shine is a message
lovely darlings, that while you are still here, be a beacon for others waiting yet to come. Be a shining star and make their days here bright!
They believe in you sweet darlings and so do I!
So when you look up into the night sky,
remember it's your ancestors up there
shining their love on you.
