10th grade, 12th grade, beautiful, feelings, imagery, love, stars,
Lingering rays of sunlight slowly die
as scarlet burns the sky, where clouds ignite.
And while the birds roost, bats begin to fly,
capturing elusive moths in mid-flight.
Luna hangs high in an ebony sky,
spinning dreams into beams of golden light.
And twinkling stars, like fireflies in the night,
confetti the heavens, dazzling the eye.
Like gold filigree pinned to the darkness
galaxies adorn the heavens above,
and shooting stars unzip the black of space.
But, Man stands unabashed in His starkness,
for cosmic beauty can't compete with love,
an emotion intrinsic to His race.

Under the Stars
The cobalt sky has many eyes;
they're brightest just before sunrise
as starlight.
Sprinkled amidst the indigo
we stop to let the sandman sow
his stardust.
Glittering `cross the peaceful night
we view a shooting star take flight;
we're starstruck.
The sky becomes a starlit show
as sea reflects its silver glow,
so starbright.
In awe we kiss and say goodnight.
I watch as you walk from my sight,
soft . . . starlit.

love,
A moment in time, frozen in my mind
Vision of beauty,
an angel in my eye
Sunshine sparkling down
Brightening up my cloudy days
Life was on the downturn
spiraling
lost...
out of control
Nights of loneliness. days of false smiles
A few choice words,
consoling my cries
Those killer smiles you gave
Those deep caramelized eyes,
giving solace to my broken heart
Taking my hand,
you lead me from the deep,
into the light.
Upon the next shooting star
To you, I devote my heart.

imagination, love,
Once again the sun fades into the distant sky
I gaze up at the stars to imagine the twinkle in your eye
Though a sunset for me, is a sunrise for you
It's at this time each day my heart is feeling blue
Together are hearts are one, yet half a world apart
I know that shooting star is filled with love from within your heart
With a full moon slowly rising overhead into the nights sky
May it be a sunrise of beauty for you, as it kisses the morning sky

Oh Luna
Oh Luna, I am watching you
rise in eastern skies.
Your fullness fills my heart
with romantic thoughts
As I serenely bathe in your
charming reflective glow,
I know there are lovers every-
where gazing in awe
Of your exquisite enchanting
allure causing hearts
To beat with a thrilling rhythm
of inner love songs
That captivate the heart and
soul, imbibing imagery
Of silent shadows and distant
stars that drape your
Indigo sky in shimmering star-
light from light years
Passed, and as shooting stars
brighten night skies,
They are reflected as you are
in lover's longing eyes.

desire, dream, love, moon, romantic, sea, sun,
I knew you long before
pursuit's intention shone,
felt you in sun's fiery warmth
& shooting star surrender,
heard your voice on soft
burbled whispers of sweet zephyrs
and nectar'd songs of hummingbirds,
saw your depths of magnificence
in sapphire ocean tides
cresting 'neath effulgent moons
savoring breaths of crystalline
snowflakes on crisp sea air,
I knew strength in your convictions
for it braved every fantasy's illusion
acquiesced 'tween dulcet desires,
whilst the strong presence of your charms
envelop'd every night's dreaming

heart, love, star, woman,
To meet a woman such as you,
should've been shooting stars.
So it was in days of old..
let it be so again.
To feel your touch, hold your hand..
should've been Sonnets.
Endless flowing words,
sprouting forth a lover's pen.
Hard to resist when you say come hither,
you know I always would.
Melted long past the days of summer,
little heart mine, that dared it could.
Countenance hidden deep in soft eyes,
I long to find the meaning.
Strong-willed flavors of love, all mine..
leave bare my heart and soul entreating.

One night I saw a shooting star
flashing golden memories
wishing for someone beautiful
just like you babe
Dazzling dreams each night
silver trailing thoughts faraway
looking at the moon face
over and back howling echoes
a soulful plea cries
On this cold winters night
your love is the warmth one needs
deep inside that breathes out
free wild as the breeze blowing
Winds in a thousand whistles speak
Utopia's everything whispers your beauty
one in a million star silently blinks
I have fallen under spells
casting on magic fell in your dust
sailing without wings loving you

love, romantic, soulmate, together, true love,
A love built on trust
Our love flutters on calypso breezes,
cruising on the tropic of Capricorn
All of our anxieties it eases,
as mango sun wakes us this August morn
Passionate dew glistens on sun kissed skin
as we gaze at skies of peaches and cream
your essence incites desires within
We're enamored in this tropical dream
This is no cruise ship infatuation
We confess and reveal history's scars
tethered together in hearts migration
Promising love, under the moon and stars
Shooting stars ricochet through cosmic dust
Heavenly signs that our love's built on trust

Oh shooting star!
Burnt out bright across a sky
thier wonder in your light
a frozen trail of tears you leave behind
Their laughter at your sparks
I have felt your ash
You roam lost within the dark
I run to where you've crashed
I've ran so fast so far to where you are
Oh fickle little shooting star
And
Oh shooting star!
Burnt out lost within a sky
They all cheer
They cannot see you wave goodbye
Oh shooting star!
I sigh despite their smiles
for the further you have flown
I know the faster you will die
So fly
fly away shooting star

death, light, stars,
Constantly looking for salvation that does not exist.
Living a dream, living a lie.
All alone among a deaf crowd
that suffers from insomnia.
As one of the most famous ghosts once said,
“Find what you love and let it kill you”
The saddest, most painful death.
The sky is getting darker.
Another shooting star has faded.
You know, they do not grand wishes.
They run away from greedy, coldblooded demons
sucking out their minds.
While the majority keeps being blind and silent
Neverland misses your light…

Breathing wind
across ocean currents
Waves of a sea murmur
under tides turn over emotions awakening
Satin white washed surf
Beholding
upon the rocks
Beloved apex
a sunbeams brilliance
Wetly kissed
under a rainbow arch
Throwing light
of the moon spotlighting
dancing with the shadows
Crouching where the sun rests
Twilight fires burn amber
within clouds shooting gunbarrel grey

************************************************************************************
Twas hard to remember exactly the last shooting star which I have seen
Thus I seized the moment to make a wish upon a dream; asking for the only gift
That truly matters unto me; for amid all these things beautiful, love is the key ~

space,
White hot stars twinkling bright,
in a black ink sky spreading night
while pink clouds in heavenly space
spread love
from those who are circling above.
Waves of green glowing,
mysterious and beautiful
through the night in circles of delight
with blue moon circling round
as we gaze upward at the profound.
Fading in and fading out,
the warmth of the sun’s fire
encircles and feeds our desire.
Floating, sailing, shooting, through space
We live eternally together in a circular place.

hope, love, day, hope,
Be my star,
the twinkle in my life
the little light to my darkness
the diamond in my sky
Be my shooting star,
take my wishes and soar with them
take my dreams and aspirations and keep them
take my heart and hold on to it
Be my star,
the shining in my life
the bright smile on a dark night
the hope in my day that turn to nights
Be my shooting star,
take my joy and save it for me
take my love and preserve it
take my life and be apart of it
Be my star,
the remaining of warmth and a clod night
the hope that day will never come, because of fairs of losing you
the reasons for my existence
Be my star, My shooting star!!!!

nostalgia,
To be young again,
with flowing, natural
chestnut brown hair,
to feel the walk of spring
without ache and pain,
to have the heart flutter
when dreaming about a
current love,
to be able to eat sweets
and not worry about weight gain,
to look forward to each day
with the idealism of youth
to be in tune with the moon,
sun and heavens,
to catch fire flies in Mason jars,
to make a wish at rainbow's sight,
to see shooting stars and
feel excitement,
to dance fast dances without
losing breath,
to stay up all night and talk
about girlish things,
ah, to be young again...

moon,
alone ‘neath the full moon
my heart once bright with hope, now dimmed
how I wished you were here with me
as the moon bled with my heart
shadows of past love traversed the orb
ruby halo I longed to share with you
watching as a shadow slid across the moon
shooting star left its contrail in ebony sky
smiling, I saw your heart in the scarlet moon
where are you now, my love
magic moments we once shared
my spirits sank - torment of a blood moon
*While we were watching the moon, we saw a shooting star!

longing, love, stars,
It saddens me to gaze upon the stars
I see them blinking, fighting back their tears
Reminding me our distance is so far
Their numbers are the days without you near
Assembling pieces of my scattered thoughts
An image comes to me in stained glass scenes
Subconsciously I gather shards embossed
Create a picture of you here with me
Then suddenly a sign from fate appears
A shooting star takes flight across the sky
I close my eyes and wish that you were here
To stay with me and never say goodbye
I think about the happiness love brings
Then go inside to dream my stained glass dream

angst, death,
Letting you go was never easy
Exhausted friends trying to please me
Toes freezing as I wander around
Trembling body hits the ground
Instincts whispering, “Go home”
Neglecting thoughts to be alone
Green eyed memories give me sorrow
Goodbye for now until tomorrow
Only time is left to borrow
I saw you sleep for the first time in years
At the side of your crying mother
That night I drowned myself in beers
Begging, take me and not my lover
Living life for you
Fell in love with shooting stars
Souls will meet again

10th grade, age, beautiful, emotions, feelings, imagery, love,
Together, we'd swim the depths of our souls,
splashing and playing in love's limpid pools.
And we'd adopt each other's hopes and goals,
love-struck teenagers and romantic fools.
Holding hands, we'd stare at the stars all night,
stealing kisses when no one was around.
And we'd ogle the sky until first light,
watching shooting stars fizzle earthward bound.
And we felt we were both blessed somehow,
confident our love would last forever.
But it didn't; that was then, this is now,
and we no longer believe in never.
Living is a time capsule in itself,
where childish dreams collect dust on a shelf.

lovelove,
Out of hate, love and beauty,
the eternal triangle,
came Cupid and his arrow,
victim of himself.
~//~ ~//~
Psyche, the daughter of the
king and queen of Sicily,
boasted that she was the most
beautiful woman on the island.
Inflamed, Aphrodite sent eros
to shoot her with an arrow of
desire, which would make her
fall in love with the next man
she met. Eros fell into his
own trap, for upon shooting
her, fell in love with her him
self. Taking her to a secret
place and marrying her. She
was later made a goddess by
Jupiter and Eros (cupid) was
immortalized.

love,
An archer from Sherwood made shooting an art
Persuaded the wealthy from surplus to part.
He fell for a maid at first sight
But fearing to tell her outright
Enlisted friend Eros to capture her heart.

7th grade, dark, hope, war,
Hopes of happiness,
Laughter,
Turn into darkness and fear.
Screaming,
Shouting,
A spray of despair.
Tugged in my heart,
Ripping out my hair.
Nowhere to turn,
Nowhere to hide,
So much is going on,
Looking around,
Eyes filled with horror,
My country is falling apart,
Guns shooting,
Rebellious,
Tears of sadness,
Dropping down my cheek.
Gone are the dreams,
The hopes of joy,
Because of this war.
This war,
This destruction,
This tragic fate.
Where is the love,
The kindness,
The care,
For refugees?
