your star

[Deleted]

if i could grasp
a piece of starlight
and hold it in my arms

it would be as if
i were holding you

warm, quiet
and gentle
this star

glows golden yellow
a warm embrace
your light

into the hearts
of all who know,
who love

the gentle sea breeze,
the ocean air
moonlight flickering
on my shore

if i could just hold you,
reach up to the stars

but my heart is too far
beneath the waves
i can only hope it
wash ashore

until then
i will let the waves
roll over my heart
and peacefully drift

to dream in admiration
of a distant star.

[artolmaeus]

should I become a mirror
and was all I could see
is you look at yourself
while you're looking at me
all the while, there would be
things, so untold to you
right there in your face
and in time, they would go silent
so, then, I should be a talking mirror
and could say things you don't see
but oh, how I see them,yy
then, you could never see me
so, maybe, I could be a magic mirror
but, I have put up so many walls
however I was hung, could never be known
for the lifetime of sledgehammering it would
take to ask me a simple question
though, I have taken a lifetime to consider my reply
well, your reply, it would be for you
and it would be just as honest
as I have never understood many things I have said
and many things I have do'ed
but I was led, by the reflection of my own face
in the seemingly endless teleprompter before me
speaking in Esperantu, when I only knew ga ga,
wanting or having or had or having been
or being and not being, hungry or fed or fed up
or something or anything, or nothing at all
I have lived so many lives in my mind
it is obvious I am still plugged to the mainframe
I am still the Johnny Mnemonic
and I don't know kung fu,
but Hong Kong Phooey
fuck yeah
