Star Poetry

Above me shining in nightly radiance
Are the stars twinkling, clouded by earthly luminance.
I long for the darkness, crisp and clear,
Where might I but listen for those dear
Evening breaths of this star so near.
Yet worldly strains constrain me
And higher bounds contain thee,
Such that I must strain to glimpse thee
But you doth fain release me.
And so I reach with heart alive
To glance upon and thus contrive
A pardon for weary soul's reprieve.
And thus the nightly lights be set
And thus to shade reason's counterfeit.

Nighttime Musings

When you say good night
Do I fill your dreams?
Before you slip into your dreams
Do you save one beautiful smile
For the idiotic quip I made?
When you say good night
Do you truly wish me pleasant dreams?
Before you slip into your dreams
Do you gaze at the stars
And remember our night on the ledge?
When you say good night
Do you look forward to seeing me?
Before you slip into your dreams
Do you see me above you,
Loving and defending your sleeping form?
When you say good night,
Before you slip into your dreams,
Do you think of me?
Because I think of you...
