 (The Stars Never Lie)


So stand I,

In the whispered, teasing morning light.
The tears of angelic eyes twinkle and descend. Melting upon my freckled nose.
Heart wrenching, and I've forgotten how to breath.
The memories of embraces sweet,
Of infinity mixed with peace.
And for eternal moments, I was. Alive.
Just enough to feel mortality,
As it clawed at my flawed existance.

Grasp in the mind with clarity. Sweet clarity
And certainly The ancient ridddles can be solved
Kneeling upon dirty ceramic tiles.
Seeking answers to questions I can not begin to comprehend.
Light the candles and pray to Idols for clarity. Sweet clarity.
It's certainly insanity. Most certainly. It's contradictory.

Burning stars were infinite. Once upon a sweeter time.
But now we stand between twisting galxies waiting.
Soon they will collide.
And no deity will dare pick up the pieces.


I hate the stars.
For all their aweful lies.
For inspiring faith in the meek, and divine.
I hate the stars. For teasing me, and daring me to dream.
I hate the stars for what they really are,
  Sparkling... scarred...

Reminders.

   Even Deities will die.

"Kneeling upon dirty ceramic tiles." The stars incline; they do not determine (The stars never lie, but the astrologers lie about the stars; such a vicious conundrum). And you twist the galaxies to show us in your way that all stars collide. ...

Practicality and imaginitive, some lovely plays on words and composed with eloquent alliteration. The concept? Flowing and cutting to its point, a river to an inlet in structure - leading to an ocean of thought.

gazing. I think it an interesting analogy, seeing scars, as the stars we look upon, many lost lights just reaching us.

I do see that you savor the moments and that they are lost, and nothing is forever. You do demonstrate it is how one believes as in the time they live, the perspective they take. Sometimes I feel in awe, and others I just feel small and insignificant when

You know Aunty Depressant, I read the poems and always tend to read your commentary after. Your Fun!! ][Nstant ][Nsanity

Funny, I love the stars for the very same reasons you say you hate them. Pure naked truths, burning in the night, some to die long before we know, others to outlive us all. This connected like you can't know...

Such a pessimist. It's not about life and death, it's about remembrance.
