Your Star

Feelings of distress
Echo back at me from afar
I wonder how things work
Upon your distant star

I strove to break
What took so long to build
A bridge to your star
With a keystone filled

Canst thou not blame
Or hurt thyself more
I flew to your star
Only to find a locked door

Once so willing for a bridge
Now you have declined
An inquiry into your star
I feel so inclined

Who is responsible
Is anyone really
For what has happened to your star
Poor poor lovely lady

I can cry you a river
So I can sail upon it
Adrift to your star
Where lovers sit

I can blend passion with power
And bring you down to earth
Pulled from your safe star
To attempt another birth

I can paste all of the pages
I have inscribed to your being
Lay them edge to edge towards your star
To catch you whilst reading

I will sing you songs
Music as beautiful as a dove
Rapunzel's rope from your star
Not of hair, but of love

You're too far gone
I thought I loved you
Couldn't reach your star
Nothing left to do
But watch from afar
At your sadness
Upon your lonely star.

"The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to ocean
Holding the curve of one position
Counting an endless repetition"

Ohh, that was great! The last stanza was particularly poignant! Good one

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

Wow, you RULE. All of your poetry up to this point has been fascinating. The theme of this one was very good... and the hint of Elizabethan was a nice effect.
Look out, Teen #4... the Ozzman cometh.
Haha.... okay that was lame.

Yea Allan, that was lame.
"I can cry you a river
So I can sail upon it
Adrift to your star
Where lovers sit"

Ozz, that stanza was amazing. I loved it.
You are such a talented writer!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I really like this piece. I especally love the last stanza. It's so hard to admire the person you want to reach from afar. Thanks for sharing.
