I
“You have stolen my stars”
And I don’t mind
Where torn patches in the night sky
Once gathered taut
To hold my universe in
Now billows
Frayed edges free
Unraveling
Like a winter scarf worn thin.
II
It’s raining.
Darkness still clings to my skin,
And stars, gleaming like a million
Ancient fires
Flicker in my heart,
Blinking
In that silent moment before dawn.
III
Let go your heavy heart,
embers of memories,
illusions of fire,
And take back your stars
Pulsating tenderly in my night sky,
Aching impatiently in these long winter hours,
Take back your stars and sit with me
In this divine night
Sipping tendrils of light
Until morning.
K.K.L.E
For You
