Starlight Kisses

It’s no secret how I feel about you.

After all these years, I’m still starry-eyed.

My wayward course is unsettling, true;

but my path is something I cannot hide.

I walk beside your memory, your ghost.

Each breath is a whisper upon your ear;

and when I’m lonely, I love you the most.

In those moments, you are afar but near.

I am ever a dreamer in my heart.

Time flutters on wings fluttering by.

There is no distance to keep us apart,

no river to flood like tears in my eye.

I mingle with rain on the azure wave.

My face is illumined by rays of light.

I search the depths of the watery grave

mingling with silence and dark of night.

Your tone and your laughter are clearly heard

above the bedlam of the world so pressed,

and I breathe not a sound nor single word.

I dance to the music of your voice - blessed!

I press my cheek against a falling star

and chain-link my hope to its silver fire.

I pray all is well wherever you are

and that you notice my burning desire.

I stand on the edge of a moon-lit night

blowing starlight kisses forever bright.

The echo' I dance to the music of your voice - blessed! '

The memory of shadows and echoes is an incredible comfort, sometimes painful and yet, something that can't be forgotten or done without. You write so beautifully, your heart turns inside out and shows its tears... sighing.. reading again.

ah...if I were to catch even one!

Heart achingly beautiful words and sentiment. To feel love for and from those gone, somewhere else yet always near, is such a beautiful thing. Keep kissing those stars.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, but smile in knowing that she lives through you. That's a beautiful legacy to leave behind.
