Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Free verse

Captivated By Stardust

"We Are All Stardust - Milky Way" by JonMarc



I softly brush stardust from your cheek, and only an enticing 
smile parts your lips. Your smooth skies, captivating and unspoken, 
satiate. Like a distant galaxy, you are a mystery, lassoing my soul 
with cosmic splendor. Near you, I am entranced. A celestial sparkle 
in your eye catches mine, taking my breath, and I see more brilliance 
than all the stars shining in the Milky Way.
