the chemistry of stars

04/25/2009

outside where we are
it is darker than night
throw our heads to the sky
and the sky is clear
you're going to show me
what stars are made of.
if you lie on your back
and i lie on your arm
we'll lay and look upward
and i'll stay still
with you
in a fury of movement
that goes unnoticed
in the universe.
when we lay this close
and this intertwined
then nothing else
could possibly be disturbed.
the air and the light
stay perfectly still
as we remain frozen
without ever stopping
the world will turn
and the stars will fall
on the same sky every night
nothing changes
but our view on them.
like our love
and our mingled bodies
every single night
the universe remains unchanged
let the world move around us
as i'm fallen on your sky
for all of time, let's only let
how they see us change.
we are made of light
but we don't move so fast
why rush what will always last.
we are made of love
of love and of light
and you'll lie on your back
i'm on your arm tonight.
you're going to show me
what stars are made of.
