Celestial Love: Finding Each Other in the Universe of Your Eyes



In the universe of your eyes

I find my stars

But in the constellations of our love

We find each other

Beyond the burning embers of dawn's first light

And the fading candles of twilight's last breath

Our souls have found their home

In the tapestry of days and nights we've woven

As two threads become one

The heavens align as our fingers intertwine

Painting constellations across each other's skin

Your lips, my night sky

My arms, your milky way

We map the stars and moons of our inner worlds

Celestial bodies in cosmic dance

To the symphony of our heartbeats

Two souls, infinite worlds within

I lose myself in the nebulae of your eyes  

Diving deep in those dark pools

Where entire galaxies are born

Your lashes, the event horizon

Each blink, a new cosmos revealed

Worlds created and destroyed

In the fleeting seconds between open and shut

I orbit the gravity of your lips

Feeling the burn as I get too close

Incinerated by the fire in your kiss

Only to be reborn like the phoenix

Rising from passion's sweet ashes

This dance between darkness and light

An eternal eclipse, forever entwined

Yin and yang, sun and moon

I ache for the softness of your night

When we lay together star-gazing

Tracing the patterns of our souls

Across each other's skin, universe to universe

The silence between us deafening

Yet speaking volumes in tender caresses

Your head on my chest, listening to the cosmos

The beating of my heart, your lullaby

We dream together, adrift on the tides

Of our shared unconscious

Riding the waves between wakefulness and sleep

Where reality blends into fantasy

And we are both dreamer and dream

When the sunlight wakes, its harsh rays intruding

Our inner worlds melt back into one

But the memory remains tattooed on our souls

A blueprint for mapping our way back

When darkness falls again.

For now, we must content ourselves

With stolen moments between the light  

Brief glimpses of eternity

In the oasis of your arms

I thirst for the wellspring of your lips

Gulping down deep draughts of you

Quenching my soul's thirst

I feast on the supple fruit of your skin

Sweet ambrosia for a starving man

Your scent, a drug to my senses

Leaving me intoxicated and hungry for more

Insatiable in my craving for you

This is how I would die a thousand deaths

Drowning in your sea of sweet poison

In the universe of your eyes

I find my stars

But in the constellations of our love

We find each other

Will we lose ourselves in lights so bright?

Or will we shine eternal as binary stars?

Only time's patient march will tell

For now we burn, fused by passion's fire

Our edges blurring, where do you end

And where do I begin?

Together we are more than ourselves

Our light magnified across the darkness

A beacon in the velvet night

We have charted the unknown reaches

Of our inner space

And filled the cold vacuum with warmth

Write me into your history

Let my name be the one your heart whispers

When you gaze at the stars

Remember me in the constellations

See my face in the craters of the moon

Find me in the nebulas of your dreams

So when your eyes reflect the galaxy

I'll know you're thinking of me

In the universe of your eyes

I find my stars

But in the constellations of our love

We find each other

The tide rises and recedes

Pulling at the shores of our hearts

We sway like the sea grass

Bending but never breaking  

Storms will come and go

But our lighthouse will stand steadfast  

A beacon in the darkest night

You are my anchor in the roiling waters

When the waves threaten to overtake me

Your arms, my shelter from the storm

In you I find my safe harbor

A warm bed after a long journey

Home is not a place, but a person

And home is where you are

So I will gladly brave the tempest

Knowing you await on the other side

My heart always finds its way back to your shores

Where we walk hand in hand

Bare feet in the sand

The setting sun stretching our shadows

And evening welcomes us with open arms

In the universe of your eyes

I find my stars

But in the constellations of our love

We find each other.

Let's gather all the broken pieces

Of our fractured souls

And shore up the eroded cliffs

That guard our heart's lonely coves

With patience and care, we will mend

What life's harsh tides have torn asunder

And build a sanctuary where our weary spirits

Can wonder and wander without fear

Under the watchful gaze of the lighthouse

That guides us safely home

We will chart new celestial pathways

Unmapped constellations of you and me

Navigating by the starlight in our eyes

May these new heavens stretch into infinity

Beyond horizons we never dared dream

Let us catalogue these unknown realms

One glance, one kiss, one touch at a time

Gathering stars like shells on the beach

Adorning the hallways of our hearts

With the treasures we discover together

In the universe of your eyes

I find my stars

But in the constellations of our love

We find each other

The wheel of the seasons turns on

And we change like the weather

Moulting the old skins of past selves

Emerging anew, yet unchanged at the core

Through the rhythms of our circumambulations

We grow, we adapt, we persevere

The axis around which we spin

Keeping us tethered through the storms

We are the sprouting seeds in spring

Bursting with new life and hope

The blazing hearth in winter

Warming cold hands and weary souls

The harvest moon in autumn

Full and ripe with summer's bounty

The refreshing rain of summer

Quenching parched earth

And through it all, we orbit each other

Binary stars caught in an endless dance

Sometimes eclipse, sometimes align

But always together, come what may

Bound by gravity and the tides of our hearts

For as long as we both shall shine

In the universe of your eyes

I find my stars

But in the constellations of our love

We find each other

Let's gather moonbeams in jars

And collect the rays of sunlight in our pockets

Bottle up the crackling lightning

Trap the booming thunder in our cupped hands

Gather armfuls of blossoming flowers

And harvest bushels of ripened fruit

So when the skies darken

And storms descend

We'll break open our treasures

To let the light and love spill out

Scattering our collected beauty

Like stars across the inky heavens

To illuminate the darkness

And remind each other

That no night is without end

The sun always rises, the moon always wanes

The storms eventually clear

And we are left together

To gather up the scattered pieces

And start anew under clearing skies

With hands clasped, hearts full

And pockets overflowing with starlight

In the universe of your eyes

I find my stars

But in the constellations of our love

We find each other

The shell of the nautilus

Grows in perfect Fibonacci spirals

As do the seed heads of sunflowers

Always the golden ratio guides their way

The graceful sweep of galaxies

Follow celestial logarithmic curves

While churning clouds swirl

In fractal patterns across the sky

So let the truth of the natural world

Be our model and inspiration

As we build the architecture of our love

On the sturdy foundations of respect and care

Following the mathematical harmonies

Written in breath and bone, sight and soul

Honoring the beauty of our complementary differences

While celebrating the joy of our core sameness

With logic, with wonder, with gratitude and mirth

Together we will chase the divine geometric unfoldings

Of a love as resplendent as the nautilus

As steadfast as the oak, as bright and pure

As the light behind the stars

In the universe of your eyes

I find my stars

But in the constellations of our love

We find each other
