Best Poems Written by Perla Zepeda

Meteor Shower

Your stars are falling gracefully,
but mine are crashing.
Your resentment is painfully justified.
But my love is too.

thoughts swarm the universe
the world I created in my own head
where you read me your verse 
and I add another 

a world where I don’t have to wait 
for your stars to follow mine
Or some sort of fairytale fate 
because we’re effortlessly aligned

I tell you
“my thoughts are like a meteor shower”
you tell me
“meteors crash”

But they’re also radiant
creating a beam that’s hard to ignore
so I don’t mind if we crash
even if you embed your stars into my mind
