Atlas A Taurus

When she almost died, I told the Taurus stars
“Give her back to me and take me instead”
So when she came to life I protected my wife
Knowing I had lot of work to compose ahead

I made a pact with the universe, my life for her–
So that I may go into the infinite cosmos first
Thus I immersed myself in prose and verse
To write my best even when I’m at my worst

Ever since I’ve spit mad bars looking up at the stars
Declaring my love even if I’m sounding silly or dumb
Whether she laughs or cries I love the look in her eyes
But I know that my time soon too will come

And even though I’m a Gemini I’ll ask the stars in the sky
To let me dwell near Atlas in the Constellation of Taurus
So that when she eventually joins me up in that galaxy
I’ll recite her more poetry with an interstellar thesaurus
