Stars
The stars are shining in you tonight
In the sparkle of your eyes
And the silver laugh that passes
By pearly teeth and through your gentle lips.
Jewels in your ears and one solitaire
Hangs in that soft V below your neckline.
You are full of the night's mystery
Brilliance seen from afar.
Can I look to the heavens,
When Heaven is here before me?
The stars will pass with morning
But still I look to you
Not as some distant constellation
In the dark sky of the Night
My own star of the early dawn
Venus and sun's return
Lighting day as well.
Star and centre of my galaxy.
