The Star of My Heart

The Star of My Heart

You are the light that learned from your eyes how to shine without a sun, The star that emerged from the melody of eternity, illuminating what perception cannot grasp. You are the unnamed, the indescribable, the ineffable, A name that makes the alphabet tremble with love.

How can a radiance that precedes words be written? How can the secret that pulsed in the veins of time before time itself be spoken? You existed before language, and love was formed from your whisper, Poetry was born from the utterance of your name.

All that is spoken here is but a tiny galaxy within the body of your light, Every written word is merely the remnants of stars that fell from the fragrance of your footsteps. Love did not exist before you, and eternity will not be after you.

So tell me, How do I extinguish a universe that has taken refuge in my heartbeat? How do I return a star to the sky after it has become the pulse within me?
