Stars

I see her in the stars

Burning bright, alive

With energy

Dancing across the blanket of time

And space
She races across my vision
Rests upon my heart
Sets fire to my convictions
And smiles on the ashes
These nights
I wonder who we are
Who we've been
And why my tongue
Is emptied of her taste
Washed clean
That these words seem
Banal
Dry, and I'm heaving
Wood into the fire
Maybe she'll recognize it
But who knows, I've only
Just begun to face this
Wondered at the spaces
Between the flickers we played in
And why, just like them
She's light years away
From this moment.
