spoke to stars

every 
   night
     when 
        world 
            slept
              caught 
            a 
          moonbeam
        to 
      confab
   with 
  stars
vociferously
   empyrean
      recoiled
        squandered 
            dreams                          
                  with 
                     hopes as
                          dandelion
                      scribed 
                    on
                 sunset 
               beside           
         zephyr 
     blowing 
twists
    
Scent 
       wafted 
           breath
             deemed
                lilac &
                   light 
                     imply luck
                        embracing
                           an
                       unusual 
                 chirping 
              of
          birds
    catalyst 
of 
    magic                
         dreams 
              dwelling
          only 
       in 
   translucent
gossips

A candle 
        burns        
            watching   
                   prayers 
                       waiting
                            for
                              time flown 
                          forlorn stare 
                      long 
                   to 
                catch 
            sight of
      beloved
eroded
     looking 
        for
           fairy tale 
               ending
                   &
                   sea song
                      sitting 
                          listening
                                 wave     after     wave
                                    &
                               become
                          custodian 
                       of my 
                    solace
                  without
              travel 
         aficionado
      conjure
   a nook
 in my
   vision
      turning
         waste
            into 
               fertile
                   land
                to
              plant
          sow
        &
     grow
   roots
Into You

NOTE::THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' (intuitive cadence)& so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
