Love Poem: Star Crossed

Star Crossed

We talked
Then walked
The stars aligned
Too briefly
Now two fates
Resigned

We hoped
We dreamed
But not to be
The ache 
Frustrates 
Reality

A senseless joy
When girl 
Meets boy
To lose 
Un-promised
Hopeful joy

Life is cruel
Life is kind
No guarantee
Of hearts
Designed
To meet

The purpose
Only time 
Will tell
It's secret 
To this
Living spell

The universe
Is not to blame
We are not pawns
In some 
Heavenly 
Game

The stars
Burn brightly
For the few
So brief, and yet
Such beauty, true.

Healing waits
And nothing's
Wasted
Just grateful
Briefest love
Was tasted
