What the stars have to say

As I felt my being

Bathed in dread

She said to me here is you thread

It is better than bread

It exists in writing

And getting out of your head

Where a thousand thoughts are swirling away

And you are getting lost in uncertainty

As afternoon descends

You smell the burning of the milk that cooked

Until blackened

In the pan you left under fire

And forgot

Desires is burning away deep inside you

With every word he says

As your body remembers how it was to yearn

For that soothing touch

So often taken

Leaving you falling and aching

You must remember

The present is not always like the past

And even though you fear that love and connection

Can never last

Are the unreliable things that always disappeared

Leaving you aching

Perhaps now there is a way

For wanting to just exist

And not burn away

On unrequited fires

Left unattended

Forgotten

Denied

Carried away

So

Give into your desire

Just for this moment

Hold on

Don’t shut down

Stay open

And wait to see

What the stars have to say
