star girl (archives)

starlight falls out of the skies

and settles in her upturned eyes

she peers into the jeweled vault

until the sun begins to rise

an amateur astronomer

she knows the moons of jupiter

orion’s belt and saturn’s rings

she loves the stars like i love her

i hope someday she’ll love me too

but i will not obstruct her view

or take the stars out of her eyes

my love for her is tried and true

  1. Your poem is a beautifully crafted expression of love and admiration for someone with a deep passion for astronomy. The imagery of starlight settling in her upturned eyes and her fascination with the night sky is both enchanting and touching.
    The closing lines, “my love for her is tried and true,” reflect the depth and sincerity of your feelings. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt poem, which captures the essence of love and respect for someone’s individuality. 🌌💫🔭❤️📜
