Sunflowers
Stars I gaze, all night - as if in a reverie,
Under the sky as I stand, yearning to be
Near you and admire the blue-black velvet and
Feel the breath of silence, so serene - to be
Lost in the warmth of a dream-like enchanting moment;
Oceans apart, now, still our souls merge
When the universe in unison tunes a melody,
Entranced by the lustrous stars in the quiet of the night,
Reflecting the charm of our love, as I gape at the
Same star you stare at from a distant land.
