Star.

The stars in the sky

cluster around you,

seeking guidance.
_____________________

They ask you,

‘Kind Sir,

How do you shine

so bright?
_____________________

How do we replicate

The lovely

luminance

that radiates

your essence

from your brown eyes?’
_____________________

Just like the tongue

delights in sugar,

you are eager

to please others.

_____________________
Like power restored

after a lengthy

power cut,

you light me up,

you linger in my thoughts.
_____________________

‘Where are you going with this?’

you ask, smiling.
_____________________

I am going nowhere.

I am here with you,

lacking nothing.
