The Same Sky

I sit alone on a dark, lonely night
As tranquil moments gently enfold me
Gazing at stars sprinkling the sky so bright
As my dreams float upwards and become free

Wishes on angel’s wings so lovingly kept
As my love and I live in worlds apart
Twinkling stardust on my desires not met
So much hollowness and pain in my heart

I yearn for the radiance of your smile
As you caress me with your soothing touch
Pray take my hand for a heavenly while
Fleeting moments that I capture to clutch

Deep valleys within flood with much sorrow
Swept along with past memories my love
A prayer cast for a bright tomorrow 
As I wish and look to the stars above

Up, up into the blackness of the night
As if by the heavens a message sent
Crystal cut stars shooting and sprinkling light
A sanguine thought floats down on descent

If tonight you feel me dreaming nearby
We rejoin once more sharing the same sky

Christina Bowring Date: 1/26/2024 7:05:00 AM Dear Andrea, fellow Virgo friend :) (Sept 12) I cannot thank you enough for making my day when reading these wonderful, generous and uplifting comments from you. An extra big thank you most gratefully for faving it. I’m so delighted and equally honoured. Thank you! That’s wonderful encouragement. I’m still studying your poem to grasp the rhyme scheme and for inspiration. I think, at times, we do have the same style (Virgo minds!) but you are a superior poet and I’m enjoying learning from you.

Speaks Volumes Date: 1/13/2024 5:32:00 PM Sharing the same sky, choosing a time when we may be under the same stars or moon for a fleeting moment. Feeling the vibration of love as it wafts along the star-studded universe. Then going back inside not wanting to leave that evening sky, feeling unrequited. Again you replanted familiar feelings. Thank you my friend.......

Valsa George Date: 10/5/2023 12:34:00 AM Passionately romantic, this is a beautiful poem of pain and longing. It is natural for one to crave for the presence of the loved one, when they stay hundreds of miles apart ! To peer into the night sky and dream beautiful dreams is a lover's privilege.

Robert Lindley Date: 9/3/2023 6:54:00 AM An absolutely fantastic new creation my good friend. Human relationships are indeed very complex things.

John Gondolf Date: 7/25/2023 2:14:00 AM Long distance relationships are hard but we can take solace in the night sky knowing our love is looking at the same stars as they twinkle their stardust on our desires. This is such a beautiful thought, Christina, I enjoyed the read. John Login to Reply
