[hometext] => Long? Maybe. This was an ongoing poem, now reduced to the first two digit number. If you think you see some repeated ryhmes from other poems, you probably do. I was combining dreams. It was more fun writing than reading over, though.
[bodytext] => Sitting on a windowpane Already forgotten it's all the same. But what would be given to find That it's an illusion of the mind? The stars glitter endlessly up there Somehow finding the light to share. They take forever to make their way here And still feel to me like they're near. Wish I could touch one Just to wipe away the sun. Wonder if they'll remember me When I'm but a faded memory. All or nothing one and the same To the echoes of the sun's flame. Andromeda's two million lightyears away Other side of the world takes it for the day. And Cygnus haunts my vision and dreams Azelfafage and Gienah beating to reach me. The black hole within it swallows my mind Deneb brushes my eyes and I feel blind. Lacerta is winding around somewhere near The whiteness of Lyra invokes a respectful fear. Draco the Dragon blows starry flame my way But seeing Corona Borealis gives me reason to stay. The well known Boötes stalks always close Though Ursa Major is what I see most. Leo and Virgo constantly stay near Cancer In my dreams they swirl like some kind of dancers. Polaris shines at the end of the Little Dipper Aquila glows east of Delphinus' flipper. Orion demands my attention with his proud stance Taurus off not too far of a distance. Aries the ram butts into me not long after then My focus directs from it to the light Pisces sends. Pegusus waits just beyond the Fishes Only that constellation could know my wishes. It brings me to think when I used to wish on stars When I did, I never dreamed that it had to go so far. Stardust in my eyes, I'm back at the windowpane Gone for tonight but until tomorrow they'll be in my brain.
