Silent Stars

Stars come out to dazzle my eyes.
Glowing bright, they ignite my soul.
Like candles lit across the sky,
night inspires words to gently roll
from my lips to your waiting ear.
I profess my love to you only 
when lights dim low, I hold you near,
and remember our life happily.
All the world seems to fade away
as I look at you in starlit night.
My dreams have changed, but here you’ve stayed.  
You lift me when others fall from sight.
With you, I still feel like that girl
so innocent when we first met.
Like inside a shell, a gleaming pearl,
you still find me when I forget.
Blessings rained down when I found you,
more love and light than I could name.
All the heavens shined on me renewed,
and the stars fell silently in flames.

this is gorgeous. Is it for the hushed contest. Something about a hushed star? I need to review that one again. Anyway, the way you used the stars to portray the effect this person has had on you was very romantic.

Rhonda, your poem touches one on such a spiritual level. It is almost angelic. Your line: "Like inside a shell, a gleaming pearl, you still find me when I forget." is magnificent, and your ending lines left me in awe. What a talented poet you are my friend! 7+ I am fav'ing this beauty.
