In Stars Above

We are born of fire
Of dust and dream
Rippling in the hush between galaxies,
Where silence first learned to sing.

Your breath is the exodus
Of stars sighing
In timeless sequence
Opening your smile
To my heart-
A flaring comet
Caught in the gravity of your gleam

We are the fusion
Whirlpooled in the core
Of great vastness
As the universe remembers
Where atoms long separated
Begin to dance

I trace the curve of your soul
Like constellations
drawn by ancient eyes
In the night between us
To find every light
That ever dared to shine

We meld into oblivion
Within imploding suns
Birthing a love that sings
Between the lingering clusters
Of stars that fall silent

Folded into flesh
Tracing the curve of stars
Kissed into utter extinction
Let us burn
Not to end
But to become everything
