In the path that leads to you, the stars are dying.

There are stars beneath her feet,

that move

as she dances through the night,

through the day

as she carves constellations on the

earth

and sprinkles stardust on the hidden seeds

that sleep with their souls closed

and now,

spring is in bloom

and I am here,

dancing with her,

stamping stars on the earth

a smile gracing our features

our heart skipping

and our hands connected over

the distance that time has created

as our souls sing,

calling out

my name and hers.

and you,

you are watching me from the shadows

leaving a hollow abyss (dead stars)

where you walk and try to dance

you are screaming out my name

your voice getting lost in between

the seasons of our spring

and your cold summer

as she and I move through the day and night,

dancing along year along leaving

the echoes of the past for you,

constellations for the future, and

love for the present, for me and her.

I loved and now I love. (just not you.)

Where the lines are leading to you. (you, who left)

Everything that is, became was.

Everything that I have, became had.

You, who is mine, became

You, who was mine.

Those kisses I have each day and night and

those soft hands that holds me close

and that voice that beats my heart

into a rhythm.... Has become something I had.

Still, yearn for.

You, who is the sun that glowed my life

..became,

You, who was the sun and, now is

the stars I dread. (the stars that I loved)

Everything that I love,

became something I dread,

something I loved.

Still, love, yet dread

like you. like the stars.

take me, agian. please

no. leave me.

kiss this lips, agian. please

no. kiss her instead.

I love you, I love you.

I hate you, I hate you.

Why are all the lines leading

to you. (you, who left)

and why,

can't I cut them off

and let you go?

I love you, I hate you

I hate you, yet.

I love you

and I just can't let you go,

yet.

all the paths lead you,

the jagged lines to you.

and, it's driving me crazy.

Ripping apart what pieces of

this fragile heart

I have left.

I am leaving leaving a hollow abyss (dead stars)

where I walk in the shadows, and

my voice that screams your name

is getting lost in this cold summer, never reaching

your and her spring.

and in the dark, I am crying

dancing to the echoes of the past.

I love and loves. You. (you, who left)

There’re constellations carved in my soul. (l want to burn)

If you're the sun, then,

I will become your moon.

So let me breathe in your air,

let me burn in your presence

and become the winds

that strengths your flames

and lets these

blazing flames dance across my skin,

and in my bones. (I want

to burn)

I want you close,

ear against your heart

as you hold me in the

light of the day,

the sun’s scorching heat

carving marks across my soul,

until the scars are visible.

I hate you,

yet, I love you.

If you're the sun, then,

I will become your moon.

So love me unconditionally,

and kiss these scars you made,

kiss these dried trails of tears, (I want

to burn.)

There're constellations carved in my soul,

connecting me to you,

the lines are wavering and jagged,

yet, undoubtedly,

it's forcing,

my heart to beat for you,

even if it is in pieces,

broken and battered and

even if the rhythm

is out of beat, and our hearts,

out of sync.

sometimes, we forget,

but, the sun

is a star too. (I want

to burn)

I hate you,

I love you.

In a flutter, you came and went. (brought me to life and then, killed me.)

In a flutter,

like a sprinkle of light rain,

you enter my life

leaving a trail of stardust

where it's too dark

letting time pull the

particles together

until

it became a star

and like,

fireworks exploding in the sky

I burst to life

burning everything around me

carrying on expanding on

further

my blazes of fire reaching

further

until

it gets too much

filling me with too much

and I spit out a

supernova

destroying everything around

leaving an empty hollow space

where not even light can pass through

and in a flutter,

like a butterfly,

you leave my life

so beautiful,

taking with you

the light

leaving trails of memories

I can't touch

or otherwise

they would be swallowed by

this eternal abyss

and break it into shards of dust

black hole blooming in your heart.

blinking lights,

a glittering thousand of beating hearts

and,

i can taste mine,

burning stars lingering on the tip of my tongue

rotten-sweet

how many stars have died inside of you?

how many stars in you have lost their light?

lighting up your world,

in a confetti of fireworks

exploding in a flash vibrant colours

taking your breath, capturing your eyes

then,

gone

swallowed by the darkness of your sky

and you are left to stare at a

hollow abyss

tasting emptiness

each piece of you lost to life

and i can taste mine, vivid

lingering death rotting in my mouth

eroding each part of me, till there’s nothing left

but. an void of emptiness.

tell me,

how many stars have died inside of you?

how many stars in you have lost their light?

my heart is swimming in your galaxy of stardust.

You’re a bleeding sunrise into a dawn sky.

kissing me as stars tumble from inside you

your breath melting on my tongue

filling me with light, i never knew existed

and darling, I am melting beneath the curves of your body.

.

.

.

all the golden stars had turned to dust,

you picked up the stardust

let it slip through the cracks of your fingers

they sprinkle on me, tangling into my heart,

fluttering into my soul as you blow a kiss to my forehead

and now darling,

I am a golden star burning brightly in the night sky.

Running in circles. There’s no end or beginning.

I have tasted cold stars (and burned under your kiss)

I have seen fire pits of stars blazing in your eyes, felt them in the lining of your skin (and died in each one)

I have loved and hated you (and now I trace each scar with careful fingers)

And there’s only everything left in memory of you. Each piece of me.

(You are gone, but has never left)

Challenge
you.
I love the second person point of view because it is so universal: it could be anyone; it could even be ourselves. My challenge for you: write a piece of poetry or prose so ambiguous that the "you" could apply to anyone, everyone, or no one at all.

Drink in the morning, wild storm.

Kiss the galaxies of his yet unborn universe slumbering in his soul and blaze them awake.

Hold his eyes, weave your fingers in his till you both are so tangled together there’s no way to know what it feels like to be alone or lonely anymore.

Love him and make the world yours.

Atom to atom, bond together with no spaces in between.

Then, set the world on flames and build your fortress from golden ashes born from the death of stars.

Rise as phoenixes from depths of hell, spread your scarlet wings across the expanse of sky blue above.

Grip the world with your hand and kiss him

With life, with everything.

Taste sweet victory sharp, vivid on your toungue

and then, go beyond.
