Does the outer space
into which we dissolve
taste of us at all?

  ~Rilke, The Second Elegy

you tell me stars don’t burn  
where do they go then    
when I cannot find them  
when my eye is lonely  
begging for light    

you tell me we won’t consume each other  
where shall we go then  
when passion comes looking for us  
when we catch fire
and rise  
and double back
become one  
and one with the universe  
and all that is told  
from before  
and from later  

where shall we be
when all is done
words wrung from pleading mouths    
chanteys sung  
breaths taken
and taken again
where shall we be

shall we be stars then

waiting for an eye to behold us?

Such hope that sings within the blood,seeking that all lovers seek the peaceful little death of passion! Sigi!

   Powerful!  "Where shall we be" Indeed.  if passion explodes like super nova... to burn eternally... or burn out in an all consuming flash.

       I liked this very much, Milady.

"where shall we be

shall we be stars then

waiting for an eye to behold us?"

To be seen is to be known and remembered.

your michael stars have twinkled my fancy....now to search out more....

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same
