Wishing on a Star

 
splayed between the stars and the moon
how can i reach you
straddling the void
how can i feel how you feel

could my love ever bridge the gap
do you know imagined truth is far away
but yours and mine is so close,
closer than words

the void calls for death
again and again
a perpetual lover
demanding le petite mort

a moment of collapse
climax and change
magnetised as I am to you
I cannot

I cannot surpass this great lover
let her take you gently
don’t shy away from her demands
fall into her as a shooting star

and let me make one wish
that you fall into my arms again
as lacking as I am
let love bring you back

whole and alive
encompassed in your knowing
into this place
that i too may be free
