my dear, i cannot stand to adore you from afar

i am quite fond of your features much to your dismay

your grey, silken hair covers part of your marvelous face

my heart burns and it aches

for how could such beauty desire to hide away? 

the stars whisper and gossip

they bleed with envy and flare, 

but their galaxies fail to captivate me 

rather, your secret yet gentle glances reveal outsiders to see

the longing as i stare. 

in my dreams, i am bold

i am able to caress your tender hand

our gravitational pull exceeds its bounds,

and as i pull you close we exit the world around

we intertwine, we are one, we band. 

if time permits, on the next solar eclipse

i dare to confess,

“my dearest, moon

you shine the brightest out of all beings within this galactic room

my affections for you have always been timeless.”
