Stardust of an Astrologist
I wiped the stardust from my mouth with the fabric of space and time
One day I turned inwards,
consumed the Milky Way galaxy,
and after feasting
I wiped the stardust from my mouth
with the fabric of space and time
and kissed the black holes goodnight
before unendingly expanding
in all directions
as the universe does.
Unbothered.
*
Human thing,
you unknowingly plucked me from the sky
Jupiter rings still adorning my wrists,
Nebulas dripping down my hips,
and Venus storms in my eyes
as they met your evening calm ones
through the telescope,
astrology excitedly dripping from your words
as you introduced yourself.
*
Sweet love,
I want to sip the sunlight off your skin
And taste stardust on your lips
As you sigh galaxies into my mouth.
I want you to transcend the universe with me,
Unravel your inner most thoughts to see
If your heart, your thoughts, are
as beautiful
As your exterior. If Saturn
wouldn't miss a ring,
rest assured it would already be
on your finger.
*
Darling one,
the roar of the sea grumbles in tongues
and sometimes I think it says your name.
Are you the universe or are you in it?
Even the fog knows you,
cool drink on humid mornings,
tiny droplets speeding down neck
in slippery, drunk kisses.
I want you to love me
when the sun sets on humanity
and our bodies creak and crack like glow sticks
before we fall into dust,
once more becoming one with universe.
