Our Meteor Shower Poem by Bryan Alexander

we watched the stars fall down
together just you and I
we hid deep in the woods
and found an opening in the
night sky
the moon shone for a second
and illuminated your face
words or illusions could never
explain
what beauty I beheld
it was as if a star had fallen
and laid her arms around me
it was seeing for the first time
it was like hearing in color
it was divine
just like a shooting star
you showed me how real beauty
still exist
the fact that your leaving
reminds me how perfection
is something I can reach for
But
I always
miss
