Starbright Poems | Examples

Starlight Starbright

They say when you wish upon a star

That it may be granted from afar

I don't know if that's true

But between me and you

What I really want is a new car

October Carvings

Gray wings
at the edge of a threadbare blue.
A feathering that attenuates
and denatures.

Beneath somber clouds
stone angels watch
green granite deathbeds
crumble
in darkening dens.

October slips
through our eyes leaving no footsteps.
We are unaware of its coming
until we close those eyes tight,
then under squeezed lids
they glint starbright.

Sea-deep into a restless night
we may apprehend
the faces of the bloodless
as they seek
some last verdant masks to cover
their ice-sculptured features.

Honor To His Name

Glory to his reign
Moon glow
Above did show
Starbright
Illuminating white
Godhead and Jesus Christ supremacy as King
I have heared our Father Angels sing
Cascade on through
The rivers bring truth
Life expands
Miracles through God hands
Speak from within
How have you been
Do not hold yourself within time
Allow yourself to shine
Significance of symbolism
Reason given
Our Lord love brings
Marvelous things
Divine selection
Understanding and connection
Master Creator
Our Savior
Happiness kissed
As we spoke of this
Believing
Is healing
Divine completeness of God love and power
Within me forever

Whispers On Wings

Prayers whispered on angel's wings
To the ear of God where they bring
Petitions of needful things
Where Heavens holy choir sings

Carried on wings of finest lace
To the presence of God's starbright face 
In hopes of a miracle to embrace
Born of God's loving grace

Online Lovers

Our love is forever timeless.
On this screen of blue,
In a world full of wonderment,
My Joy was finding you.

Do you know how much I love you?
Do you know how much I care?
How lonely I am without you,
When I don't find you there!

We want to be together,
To share our life of love.
Just to hold each other,
Blessed from God above.

But the miles stay between us,
No matter how much we try.
Other obligations, create such a fuss,
As the months and years go by.

Together we have weathered storms.
Created from jealousy and strife,
Our love remains forever strong.
For our souls are one as Husband & Wife!

For now we have our land of dreams.
Where only we can go.
A Special place, where our love beams
Like the colors of a beautiful rainbow.

Hold my hand, my Whiteknight,
Walk and laugh with me awhile.
Love me as your Starbright,
Forever share my smile!

Starbright

i go out into the fields at night
searching for the secrets of starbright
in hopes i will, in case i might
find the wish i wish most nights

and that my wish it will come true
that all in life will become new
where in the day time i will find
as i wish most nights upon starbright

Flight

Space calls me home where willows stretch their limbs
clouds curdle white within the vast cerulean 
whilst rampant eagles soar as if to take a ballroom's floor
names writ on ivory card attached with lunar pins
firm held in place 'pon midnight's gracious latitiude..  
a runway heavenly laid, 
not by death but living breath..
take heed, take care, take off all earthly flaws
fly high to world where life is garden sown with scent
where man an' beast portray the best of earthly forms
where bees rich honey make from place to place 
in order to create a melting pot of honeyed grace
mid night an' day in swarms of civil kind diplomacy
each to his own,
drawn by woman-kind an' tenderly..
in Summertime's ascendancy the scene in havoc plays,
kites fly far beyond the giggling children's view
'pon meadows full of flowers drenched rich with dew
opague their look,  like flights of butterflies
winging a wishful way to starbright daylight skies.

India-Five Words Contest

A rainbow arch appears
Over Kerala island...
A salute to its colorful past,
To freedom attained at last.
As night falls, the heavens are
Starbright.

Comes An Angel's Light

The moon shadows the trees
faltering my thoughts as
gray and blue 
starbright falls in my  window.

I am alone.
I am alone.

Hungry for talk but
fearful of touch.
The taking of souls;
bitterness of the past
threatens me like
a thief in the night.

I am afraid.
I am afraid.

Yet as the silence deepens
and darkens my view
there flies an angel and I am
swept away in magnificent light.

I am alright.
I am alright.

Under the Stars - the Compound Word Verse

Under the Stars

The cobalt sky has many eyes;
they're brightest just before sunrise
as starlight.

Sprinkled amidst the indigo
we stop to let the sandman sow
his stardust.

Glittering `cross the peaceful night
we view a shooting star take flight;
we're starstruck.

The sky becomes a starlit show
as sea reflects its silver glow,
so starbright.

In awe we kiss and say goodnight.
I watch as you walk from my sight,
soft . . . starlit.

Streetlight Starbright

your heart trembles in my hand
as our toes lie in the sand
our eyes meet under the night sky
adoration i can see in your eyes
your breath on my neck
your hands on my chest
hands held under starlight 
smiles last forever tonight 
street lights too bright
sneaking around tonight
you are mine heart body and soul
you fit me perfect like a mold 
i swear this love will never get old
starlight and street lights, will you marry me tonight
suns may burn but you are brighter 
and i know this because you make my cheeks burn like a lighter 
ever lasting kisses
make me wanna give you the name Mrs. 
i go to tell you i love you and my heart glitches
if my heart is broken, then you are my stitches
miracles are true, i know that because in 24 hours you have granted all my wishes

Pirate's Litany

Starlight
Starbright
Radiance in the shadows.

Starlight
Starbright
Shining high above the gallows

Starlight
Starbright
Guide our men at sea

Starlight
Starbright
Bring them on to safety

Starlight
Starbright
Across the seven seas
Forever shining upon their sails,
Longboat in tow, sword in hand
Valiant at arms upon the rails.
Each man a brother in this band,
All willing to die with a word
Hanging heavy upon their lips.

A Warm Summer Night

A star lit night
I met my true love...
My delight
On a warm summer night

We met in a field of Moonflowers
I took her hand,
under starlight
On a warm summer night

A warm summer night,
is all I need
with you...
Under starlight

Such love
with you...
Under a nightsky
The stars...
Passing by
Such love...
Is true

Under a clear Moon showing
A field of moonflowers
The colours glowing

The shooting stars fell
As did my heart...
A field of Moonflowers,
for you and I
A love did dwell

On a warm summer night,
we took each other
Under a sky,
full of starbright
A warm summer delight
A warm summer lover

In a field of Moonflowers
Full of starbright
We lay back
and watched the Moons' flight
