Light Years Away
Stardust and stellar remnants And billions of glittering grains in the sky Remind me of your twinkling eyes So much on these starry nights Relive those moments Would you please? With me, please defy all gravity And bring me closer to my fantasies Unriddling flashing constellations Crossing boundaries of imagination Like a puzzle seemed the secret of sky Spellbound, yet we’d still try Now you are light years away A nova in the milky way Extraordinary in a billion stars Your luster is bound to last All I see when I look at the stars Is the silky glistening smile of yours Gleaming in absolute magnitude Bedimming Capella’s apparent magnitude I can never acquit this parallax For this huge cloud of dust and gas And this spectrum of blue, purple, and white Spinning my sadness into somber nights Come savor the sight of this solar flare The blazing agony and lustful stare Longing to reunite with your soul I wish to bid farewell to my woes Only a nuclear fusion will resurrect The dull remnants that now rest Convergence with you again Would liven up my spirit again This rendezvous will spawn a protostar A supernova begetting a supergiant star A reunion the universe will remember I hope to see you amid my slumber
