Since You Said Stars
Since you said stars………
I wonder if you are looking up right now at the sky?
These stars always spellbound me I don't know why,
for this one, in my mind I had to go quite far.
But I had to; since you said stars...
Underneath a clear sky, among idle breeze,
Seems these stars, prevailing my moment to freeze.
I remember you suggesting me to pen down these stars,
to which I went contrary that my thoughts doesn't par.
While I’m staring at one, running words across my wit,
I'm thinking of you, wondering if you too could see it.
That bright one up the north seems to be leading,
though is so lone looks like it seek some heeding.
I seem to connect to it somehow,
No wonder it doesn't feel very lofty now.
This time I had to go quite far,
Coz you know; you said stars :-p
I gazed up n saw seven sparkling shiver,
So Googled it, they say it's Big dipper.
It has drawn my attention since childhood;
I perceive it as a family sticking together while they could.
Well obviously we are far too doomed to be like that,
but sometimes a small gesture seems fortunate, as small as a hug or pat.
This often takes me wandering too far,
but it's alright, you know, since you said stars.
Every night same stories, but it looks so contained.
Yet I had to finish this in one start, as my thoughts won't pertain.
Then there is among rest, brightest Leo constellation,
now I realize why this word has been my admiration.
I can go on for long, as there are numerous like these,
but I ought to make it worth reading for such a long piece.
Don't judge me and don't get me wrong.
Yeah sometimes I do get carried along.
Had to speculate over n over,
Coz for first time it has been a formidable task,
And I’m finally quite glad I went that far,
But u know I had to, since you said stars :)
