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 |

Ohh, that was great! The last stanza was particularly poignant! Good one "Some men see things as they are and say why. |

Oh, wow! This one's going into my library. VERY nice job, fozzy! --Marie 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. ~Allan If I had your eyes, I'd be blind. For I can only see out of my own. ~~Carly Van Dort |

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 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. "Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, for everyone can see and few can feel."-Machiavelli |
