In The Stars (I see your name...)
How the stars sparkle so bright in that cloudless night sky far above me, and here beneath them I remain so very silent, looking up in wonder with the frosted air biting at my skin; and I know that if I were to stare at them long enough they will soon spell out your name!
Everywhere I turn my gaze your glowing presence draws forever near. Your voice whispering softly into my ear, carried by the warm winds as they visit me in my solitude, and how your image reflects upon every window, every river and every stream that I dare to seek vision. It's as though you are haunting me, and yet you live. It's as if you are stalking me, and yet you are forever distant. For in truth it is merely my heart that disquiets my mind with all of its deep desires, bringing life to my thoughts and fabric to my dreams, crafting you into my perceptions both in form and in feature.
It's a madness that has corrupted my sanity! But one that I have welcomed in with open arms and a full heart. Simply because without its daydreams weaving color into my lifeless scenes, my world remains eternally desolate; faint, barely livable and empty. With a truthful knowledge burning in my mind I am soon to be lost, abandoned in a place where I revert back to that imposing statue, standing motionless without a purpose or a meaning.
At least with an unrequited love singing loud in my damaged heart, from a voice brimming with hope and with passion, my darkest night skies are illuminated with a thousand stars; and in every single one of them, I
see your name...

I felt lonely both after reading and listening to this. I suddenly miss someone :)
I hope that's a good thing at least? ;-) Very true to the energy behind this poem, almost like losing someone you never really had.
A very romantic write, indeed, Westley. I really enjoyed. It hit the spot as they say.
Thank you very much :-)
It's very warm and romantic. I hope the one who inspired this one knows how lucky she is.
Well, in truth she did not ;-) But at least I took some decent inspiration from it :-)
