Premiere Contest WinnerThe Only Way To Make A Star

“If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.” 
~Oscar Wilde

the sky smiles as it watches us
dance in the light of a silver moon
on the veranda of an infinite cosmos~ 
the only way to make a star

dance in the light of a silver moon,
to music of the spheres as it falls
into a symphony of our poem 

on the veranda of an infinite cosmos
where time is the choreographer 
of tangos and tragedies~

the only only way to make a star 
is with each spark of love we fling 
into night's lengthening shadow.

This is really lovely! I like how you mix the cosmic vibe with something so personal and sweet — like dancing under the moon in a huge universe. The way you talk about love sparking stars feels super hopeful and magical. It’s got a nice flow that makes you want to read it Congratulations!

I loved the soft flow and romance in your poem. I especially liked: on the veranda of an infinite cosmos where time is the choreographer of tangos and tragedies~ outstanding vocabulary and imagery! Well done! have a pleasant weekend, hugs, Sara
