Starlights

Jesse Joshua Lauria

starlights danced on earth last night
a forever glance shared induced me to write

glitter followed sundown with a rarity
the star studded night grooved in her beauty

her eyes embodied the unrivaled aura from above
and mirrored the stars who fell in love

cheeks flushed hair bouncing to the breeze
pure white starlights danced in her eyes hauntingly

she is the heart of beauty's expression
i am forever possessed with her supernal vision

time is merciless so breaking the glance
rushing by with arrogance it ends the dance

stifled moments of perfection foreshadowed the gloom
evanescence spawned the bluest tune

amid everyday people she sparkled out of sight
my soul followed leaving me in fright

i await the vision bearing freedom's call
her absence and the stars can just fall
