Stellar Musing Poem by Windsor Guadalupe Jr

I saw here walking past the sidewalks today,
With her hair suspended in a wonderful array
I wailed and shouted her name, but only in stillness
My hushed eyes could only speak a few words

That amount to what divine soul she has,
None of these blunted words could surpass
I have loved you like a star, in a distance so far
Hence claiming you as my only north, luminescent and stellar.

Yet the truest of stars are not the children asleep in the sky,
And not the constellated fortnight, with the moon afire
The most genuine of all stars lies silently, quieted in my heart
It is you, my beautiful muse; I have prepared a throne for you.

I love you like the wintry rain in the summer mist,
I keep your heart inside my coarse, clenched fist.
Now I have lost you, confused with all the other stars
No, I am not confused; you have a twinkle that only I could recognize.

Because there is a flame flourishing in your eyes,
That I have long been burning my heart with;
I may go unnoticed, cloaked in the oblivion of your soul
Distant from or close to – it doesn’t matter.

For I love you, long enough that stretches of time
And yards of land would never tarnish the love that I have
For you, though apart from your knowing,
Spare this fool, in eternity it is you that he will be loving.
