A Pocketful Of Stars



I raised my heart

And saw the Milky Way

Through love-filled senses

I reached out and clasped

A pocketful of stars,

Never to fade,

For love has ensnared me

This star-lit night

With its far-flung sparkling net

And I do not ever want

To free myself

From its hallowed halo -

And you are

The brightest brilliance,

My ever-shining star,

Around which the universe revolves

And our love evolves

And this solves

Life's mystery.

We know our 'why'

At last

And it makes the past worthwhile,

Knowing that it all led

To this pinnacle.

And I am freed

To say, to feel, what these paltry words

Attempt to express.

They represent eternity:

I love you

'Then', now, forever

And I have

My pocketful of stars.
