The Star Gazers.
______________

Sometimes I think that
every conversation we
have (or ever will have)
is one long, and continuous
saga of unintentional poetry
read by secret gods who
hide behind those pretty
stars your beautiful mind
dreams of when looking
up at the mysterious heavens
in pursuit of meaning to
the world.

And those Secret Gods
laugh with us..and weep
with us..and share our
burdens as their own.
(because in a sense they
ARE.)

Hell...your Tears could
have Created Those Stars!
Or perhaps they are the Flowers
of an older time, when you
stood Higher Above In The
Heavens, looking Down Into
An Abyss that was immediately
brightened by your Unearthly
Stare?

---

Forever once terrified me..
because (in my Loneliness )
I assumed that I would spend
eternity lonely..as This Madman
trapped in a Cave-of-Self,
unable to look beyond The
Darkness of My Progressively
Dwindling Soul.

Yet now, my Love (who's
tears created The Stars)
Forever has been restored
to that Promise spoken of
by those Secret Gods!!

(who share our
Everything.)
