Starlight
Look at the stars!
they are the glitter of a
dragonfly’s wing,
the shine of an oyster’s
pearl,
the snowflake caught in your lashes.
I will snatch one from the sky,
little Firefly,
and press it to your cheek.
Where we touch,
our skin burns
your hair glows
with starlight.
The night is alive,
little Firefly.
The bright orbs
in the world above
twinkle (can you hear them?)
and the moon bursts
with metallic colors,
throwing it’s shadows
to the lake below (look how the waters ripple!)
I don’t notice, though;
I am looking at your eyes,
the curve of your lips.
I am looking at the stars.
