I'll give you the stars

You are made of sunshine.
Your eyes are enthralling iridescence,
With a smile that lights up the universe and
You look like stardust.
I know that even with the calcium and carbon and iron
In our blood and teeth and bones
You are more than just the star stuff that created
You and I.
That created all of the things those eyes of yours can see.
We were made inside collapsing stars,
Born out of the destruction of the pinpricks we wish on at night.
And yet you manage to do justice to such magnificent chaos.
There is such poetry in your very existence
That the stars we are descended from still shine when I look into your eyes.
You are out of this world and I love you.
