We're All Falling Stars

We're All Falling Stars

A Poem by Luna Lazarus
"

No.

"

I’m staring into the sky

And all I can see are the blankest blots of darkness

Surrounding the pinholes of blissful ignorance.

 

Out of the corner of a dilated-pupil eye,

A faint but persistent light glows into the picture.

 

It’s too easy

To divert the focus of that eye.

 

It’s far more difficult

To stare into the world of great

Bella Luna

In her shattering aura,

 

When slipping between comets

Comes so easily.

 

No sunlight, you say?

It’s dead, black ice here.

 

Forgotten oceans of lust-less passion

And love untainted by romance,

Shake out a few stormy nights

Just to be able to say,

‘I gave you what you said you wanted.’

 

It’s all selfish loathing

And cosmic fall-outs.

 

Celestial beauty surrounds,

Like models on the catwalk.

We’re the ugly, useless interns

Somewhere in the forgotten last row.

 

We’ve given up slowly,

But we came through with it.

 

We’ve fallen between stars.
