Wish Upon A Star Poems

amid the night sky
heavenly body of light

I want my dreams to come true tonight,
For the stars to line up just right.
So everything can shine bright;
And love will be in sight.
True love can take flight,
It'll be so tight.
A just fight;
Delight,
Plight.

A flower dances in the moon.

I like to watch it give a tune.

As the stars shine down.

And give faint light all around.

I know I'll come back soon.

Back from my distant mind.

That wanders well and seeks to find.

Escape from this little...Read More

The sun shone upon him
As he wished all day long
Thought odds were grim
He'd sing that same song

He lost his faith in all
Still held on to some hope
One day love would call
He'd find a way to cope

Held onto all his sorrow
Refused...Read More

Is it too late to dream?
My spirit still wants to fly.
Catching a sunbeam,
will soar sky high.

Can I still wish upon a star?
Not sure what to do.
Have I gone too far?
Will my wish still come true?

I have wasted the past few...Read More

I no longer wish upon a Star
I now wish upon the moon
My wishes weren't getting far
But now they seem to bloom

The stars may hold enchantment
The moon has an undeniable pull
Yet holds no kind of resentment
The stars promises are so cruel

So...Read More

Magic awaits us when night falls
Our eyes fill with glitter just looking at the stars
Dreams come true and wishes granted
Watching these beautiful lights flinging through the sky

Reflecting off the water I once did see
My wish upon a star was granted...Read More

I wish upon a star
    A happy, big, fat, stupid star

More or less, half a century ago,
A darkness hovered over this world,
Our generation dwells in this darkness today.
When does the light of hope become evil darkness?

When the generations that come after become the personification of evolutionary failure?

When we worship inanimate,...Read More

The sky is pitched black
    A full moon shining bright
    All the stars are out
    Like diamonds shining

    Staring at the sky
     I pick...Read More

More often within than ever without
Always begins with the sweetest of sounds
Love loves love
If there ever was doubt


Always on time, never runs late
Love conquers all, rules over hate 
Love loves love
Make no mistake


Wish upon, wish upon, wish upon a star
Love...Read More

I rock you in my arms,
thru the long painful nights.
There's nothing I can do but hold you and listen to your agony of cries.
My whole world seems to be upside down,
twisting all around.
Your cries pierce thru my soul like someone...Read More

Far Away, Far Away

Children when you dream at night you may see an awesome sight!
Magic fairies in the dew near trilliums of snow white hue.
You must search within your dreams by the light of midnight beams.
Hear the fairy’s lullaby, coyotes...Read More

Born in naked singularity,
Naked come and naked go we by,
Gravely lost in clouded clarity.
Could there be an end beginning nigh?

Time shall tell while its ways elude us.
Dark the warp of soul that might arise.
Bent event horizons delude us
Leading nowhere where...Read More

Tonight as I lay down to sleep
I think you of you as I close my eyes
You are the star of my dreams
I love your masculine voice
I love to get lost in your warm embrace
Your touch gives me butterflies within
I enjoy...Read More

A POEM MADE UP OF CLICHES

At Poetry Soup we're admonished
Never to use cliches
They provide us an extensive list
For the error of our ways

But one thing you can rely on
Is people just don't pay heed
Like a dog gnawing a ham bone

Wishing upon a star 



I made a wish upon a star
this evening in the sky
To send my love to where you are
as it goes shooting by

And if by chance it misses you 
while flying high above
Then I will use my...Read More

the scope in a turning view
ties the hands high over hues
embodies a mask of black
a sticky webbed deceit
stretched over eyes

plays mean for a wicked need
an intricate motion is the catch
shrewd dominates the luminesce
flickers of surrender are devoured
creates a tangled flux

WISH UPON A STAR

eyes drawn upward —
   like a candle on a cake
first birthday or too old

the lottery is billions upon billions
   tickets bought
blowing dandelion seeds for surety

tremor of seedlings like flesh
   burning your...Read More

Cry your tears in letters,
stamp them on the paper.
Come up with a rhyme,
don't let her see you cry.
When is she going to see her mother laugh?
hug her tight, and forget it all.
Bring back the unicorns,
greet the Pegasus,
talk to birds and...Read More

The mind flits left to right
Like a moth to the light
Forward and back seem so simple
Appearing as immutable principle
Doubt rears its ugly head
Then we try the opposite instead

Thinking stuck in the primal abyss
Leaping out to a false premise
Landing on a...Read More
