Revelations As Stars Fall

poking and prodding you pushed, till limits had no meaning all this you did, with a comprehension that I was found, but thought I was still wanting beyond our stage, there was a deeper measure being poured I saw as the cup consumed, but could never see what was poured, my curiosity blinded me I had gotten too close to your mystery even when we fought I loathed every clash it was when your pain became mine, and exasperation called my name, that my first revelation revealed itself to me our roles had reversed, and were acted out in the theater of life I was your doppelganger in all but sight, my tongue curled around vowels that mimicked you but when I checked my cup it was ever empty when your final call drifted across the ground, and eternity was late, I finally realized all along you had tried to show me it was I, who filled your vessel my cup now runs over and I can never thank you this was our last revelation ~~~~~ You brought me into a world, of mystery and wonder in imagination you sheltered a child when all others turned away, always growling at glances of derision you gave me the gift of knowledge, so that now, when I use it? I make you immortal and within each stoke pressed I illuminate the page with my love, it now reflects, to bewitch the stars they sway and rain down on my gift for you. never forgotten and ever blessed my revelations shall continue until … I have written you a galaxy of tributes.
