![]() Stars Like DiamondsA Poem by Lira Daeris![]() In the style of classical poety. May take a bit of digging to get the full thing :)![]()
My fortune cookies determine my future,
My stars align, they compromise, So I ask yet again, will they ever learn That what they decide's a slip of paper in my favor? So sit back and watch as I draw out the lines That connect lonely stars in an endless sky. Alone in the world, the Morning Mars of the sky, And forever infinite halves from feet in the future, And yet I get there anyways- I cross where the lines My logical boundaries confine, so I compromise In my mind for my sanity's favor... Perhaps with Confucius, or a Master's, the reason will I learn. But tonight, my dear, you will learn Of your star and mine 'n this uneternal, infinite sky- That God must have draped as merely a favor, To astound, to enwonder, His reflection of our future- From my star to yours, sacred, to never compromise, Though thousands, or millions, will intermit our lines. So follow my finger's line And see what I once had to learn When a half-hearted compromise Redefines Eros' arrow through two stars in the sky, And ignites Draco's sword and Orion's flames through their future, But seems what you would think be in Acrux's favor One time guilty, forever the debtor, but the heavens must me favor For once the star had lost its shine, the other behind, straight in line Of the path I wandered through my future, My Polaris found me in my journey across an endless world's sky The reason I may never learn The chance I'll never compromise. But how could I compromise? Rather, I'd pay you more than I owed God's favor, But just give me time, my love, for the length of the sky Cannot compare to the debt of my crime. You know me - I never learn; I connect the wrong stars with less right lines I've one right, at least, a diamond North Star for our future. Therefore let fate not compromise- Someday, I'll figure the rest of the lines. If it be only for your favor, I swear, someday I'll learn But I've the one that matters- the furrow in the sky that connects you and I, and forever and on forward into the future © 2013 Lira Daeris |
