spring awakens and
nature won her heart over
her eyes are starstruck
high above
plumes of trees
night stars glint---
blushing soft
beams caress
dazzling fields
charmed by streaks
children yawn...
"dream, goodnight."
I first beheld her in a play;
The leading lady on that day.
And every entrance caused a stir.
In a play I first beheld her.
By curtain call I knew for sure
That I would love her evermore.
For me there was no doubt at all.
I knew for sure by curtain call.
I kept the programme by my bed,
With her name underlined in red.
I vowed I would become a ham.
By my bed I kept the programme.
I joined next day the drama group,
To be a member of the troupe.
I thought she might be mine that way.
The drama group I joined next day.
Despite my plans I’m on the shelf.
Her co-star has her to himself.
Last week, in church, they called the banns.
I’m on the shelf, despite my plans
As the moon and stars wink and twinkle with delight
I stare mesmerized at this celestial sight
The moon's all aglow and the stars shine like a gem
They seem as happy to see me as I do them
And as I continue to gaze unto the morn
I'm amazed at how many new stars that are born
When I watch in awe as the sun begins to rise
Then I realize that another star fills my eyes
I wished upon a falling star
It fell to Earth and smashed my car
So no more wishes in the air
But now I walk most everywhere
come with me
to the sea
filled with glee
where we can Be
cheers for us
we now not fuss
no more we cuss
no blood or pus
Praises To God
are never odd
we are a Divine Squad
with AllWays a Friendly Nod
O, to be a famous actress
A star of the silver screen
To revel in the tawdry tinsel
The glitter of girlhood dreams
O, starstruck fame-seeker
Is Life a clever ruse
to be acted on a stage
Where's your zest to love and live it
~ Hope you reengage
Starstruck
Gazing at the stars in the nighttime sky
A shooting star reflects an awestruck sigh.
The Northern lights make their appearance nigh
With vivid colored ribbons soaring high,
They penetrate my soul and mystify.
A cosmic gift to almost deify,
The wind joins in to sing a lullaby,
I feel conjoined to let my spirit fly.

STARSTRUCK

stars orbit my crown
Kim Rodrigues © 2017
Many moons ago
your starlit beautiful
the day of birth dreams began
Circling true warm dust
was cast into the wake
of wishes floating sparks hot
Burning arrow head
fires destinies spark
igniting winks hope is born
You came in a dark
nightlight crystal clear cut
dressed satin white holding flames
Finding a peace of heaven
inside a breathless whisper
sighs love unconditional
First there was fireworks
then there was stars
couldn't think of anything else
but her smile. stars struck stars
and all I can see is the
glow of her beauty;
with rain instead of sunshine
it was all so divine
rhyme scheme: abcbdeff date submitted: 7/30/16
In your beauty, striking jewels within your light
If I where to go into another world
Searching behind each and every fold
Wrapped up inside my mind
There is a never ending vision, of thought
Over half of it one forgets
in a short space me not
Flowering time one stands out striking
It draws from the gentle wishing well
inside the rainbow colors her
all shades of a promise
sprinkling softly in her mist
The heart began singing music to me
as the soul saw your guiding light
I would never break your heart love
one silent promise, made into oneself
at that very moment in time
I felt it
so very special
remembering the sweet pretty birds in song
Magic capturing that very moment
our souls inside out sharing
When the heart fell at your feet
it was truly amazing
You're my dove wings
sweetly touching
Flying this heart deeply in love
with your peace the drunken spirit is floating
intoxicated in your space
falling softy emotions swoon
Savoring feelings explode outside reality
your amazing beautiful in my eyes
dazzling the mirrors of dream
Drifting through the small meteor cluster
Red Giants so soon lose their luster
Andromeda's spiral army
Where moonstruck the horizon hard
Atmosphere called her advance guard
Blue Dwarf soldiers burn out brightly
Planets are aligned, our brothers
Leaning upon one another
Orphan stars, no longer lonely

So this is called a Nove Otto and I hope I did it some justice.
