i am the crisp air beneath your feet
i am the silence in the room
before two lips meet
sometimes i become the constellations
in the sky
looking down upon
those who are meek
because you see, the stars -
they are so fleeting
they never live
or cease to die
there's a whole other world out there -
and so am i

if the stars carried all the stories in the world

I think i’d be most interested

in the ones that tell me of you when you were six

when you’re stuffed monkey was your only friend

and the stories of when you were ten

when you realized you liked a girl with brown pigtails

and you picked out the best flower in the field

only to have it thrown at your feet

if the stars carried all the stories in the world

i’d like to listen to them

with you laying by my side

telling me that Andromeda held all your secrets

and Orion held all your desires

and that the best star of all

was laying next to you

on a blanket in the dew covered grass.

They say we fanthom our thoughts to constellations,
but in truth,
my thoughts are fanthom to storms.

They say we have flowers in us,
but honestly,
I only have weeds growing in me.

They say we picture death in darkness
but all in all,
I picture myself falling into absolutely nothing when it's all dark.

They say our inner demons eat us alive,
but has anyone ever thought,
that it is ourself who surrender to it.

They say we love writing poems for it is our unwritten thoughts,
but the truth is,
we are all just too afraid of the surreality that our thoughts may never be accepted if we speak of it aloud.
My surreality in a nutshell.

I've fallen in love
With all of you
From the stars
In your eyes
To the constellations
On your skin
She really is beautiful

maybe
one day
I will be the dying stars,
wasting my lights away
to make the world a little

*brighter.

Write poetry with me, and describe the constellations that plague your  tattered, broken  memory.

ask me to and i shall stay
to trace the constellations of your skin
freckles and stardust

We stood in the parking lot with our heads up in the sky.
She showed me where the Big Dipper was. I was thrilled.
I showed her where the Little Dipper was. She was skeptical.
We found Orion's Belt together and argued over whether or not we were seeing the right things.
I could have spent all night with her under those stars.
Each constellation watching us.
People gazing.

But the pain of being stuck there on earth started to overwhelm.
I wanted desperately to take her up into space to become our own little string of stars.
Put us together in a nice spot and wait for other lovers down on earth to gaze upon us.
