2. A Definitive (Poetry)

-Thirty Seven-

Starlight Like That:

I want to feel the way that that looks 

I want to make someone feel the starlight like that 

Shimmering in dust, assurance in the unknown that hooks

You by the fingers and takes you for a walk atop night sky, in fact 

I want to be the starlight 

Because nothing scares me more

Than not using this little existence of mine to define 

Feelings that you dare not think about 

I want to feel the way that that looks.

I want to skip trace across the dark clouds with no knowing 

Of why we're up there other than showing 

The world that I am more than just a little spark

I want to be starlight so glimmering that it starts 

The glow that only light like that can make

In another persons heart. 

Iridescent white light, yellow golden gleam 

Frosts over your skin in such a way you think 

It's perhaps the first time you've ever goddamn seen

Starlight so beautiful

That lights the night sky even on the worst of nights

I want to make someone feel the starlight like that

Reflect it in the whites of my eyes to make my iris's dance 

In the damp grass, navy dark air night glittering with a chance

To hold on to starlight that breaks through the grey clouds 

I want to feel the way that that looks

I want to make someone feel the starlight like that

Shimmering in dust, assurance in the unknown that hooks

You by the fingers and takes you for a walk atop night sky, in fact

I want to be the starlight.

I want you to think I'm starlight.
