something to remember.

something to remember:

the stars may shine distantly

with a cold clear otherworldly light,

untouchable orbs far out of reach,
but there is comfort to be found
in the surety of the glimmer
which bathes my hungry retinas

and when one fades,
as stars must do,
into eternal ermine depths
far beyond human perception
a million more are born in its stead
before the next blink occurs

so you see,
even a star's death
(not unlike yours, my love)
is never truly in vain

Wow. This is unbelievable. The words are smooth as silk.
You expressed things I've thought about, but never thought
deeply about and you've opened my eyes to a point of view
I didnt know existed. I feel like I'm there under those stars
close to you..listening to your thoughts.

Only great poetry can make a person feel like a voyeur. Great job.

ohh what a beauty this is..like a magnet i was pulled to this
your light do shine high above i could never reach
still they did blind me from far off,and what comfort
i was filled filled with joy just looking..kept looking
and if ever they turn off your light..like a star that dies
high above,it gives birth to a million more,so still the light..
i know your light will never fade and even if ..
it will bring like a thousand more the likes of it..and i bathe in it
how great ,how lovely..just perfect
lovely write..
