Who Has Time For The Stars

We came clenching our unformed fists into fatelines

I held up my palm against yours wishing it entwines

Drum rolls, shivers in the spine, golden autumn rays

Scars on your skin, all sing in unheard tuneless ways 


But what about those dark spaces in our music? 


At a distance I crave for a two-syllabled sweet moon

Raindrop pitched murmurs on a long-lost parched tune 

Your skin that erupts in a million smiles at my touch

dark oval moles spewing perfumes of earth and such


But would you look up from your mirror? 


In silence I watch the moon drape a saree of light

Which her stealthy sun sent through his secret sprite

She danced with twenty-seven stars, each night anew

And here and now waits for a lone glimpse of you


But who has time for the stars?
