Different Star

It’s evident that you’re a star that shines in someone else’s galaxy,
But when you impart love, every clatter around turns into a charming melody.

You may well be an angel that is seeking joy in someone else’s world,
But the moment you set your heart free, I find myself in a twirl.

You are a star; you are a beautiful star,
You are a star that shines even though it may be a wee bit far.


Nobody can spread love to others when they are in love with someone,
But when you exude such tenderness, I feel calm and worry about none.

I am pressed to believe; nobody will match up to you ever,
Since you are so special to me, an angel that has made me so clever.

You are a star; you are a beautiful star,
You are a star that shines even though it may be a wee bit far.


Every moment of my life goes by and I proudly classify you as ‘classified’,
Every breath that we take suggests the fact we are still satisfied.

When I have to deal with fools and you with clowns,
We ought to remember, as always, we must face the ups ‘n’ downs.

You are a star; you are a beautiful star,
You are a star that shines even though it may be a wee bit far.


Even so, we lend a deaf ear to them and seek each other in every corner,
The instant we shut our eyelids, all other things no longer matter!

With you around, all my worries are on a long holiday,
With you around, we are in our own ‘milky way’.

You are a star; you are a beautiful star,
You are a star that shines even though it may be a wee bit far.
You are glory; you are freedom,
Of the life man leads, you are the reason.

    Great write. You have a way with 'love' words. My favorite of this the last stanza -"You are a star; you are a beautiful star, You are a star that shines even though it may be a wee bit far.
    You are glory; you are freedom,
    Of the life man leads, you are the reason.'
    I wish I could have such a way with words as yourself.
    Your words remind me of what 'could have been' thanks for the moment.
    Peace ~ Mia Linda

    Very pure... exudes a lot of magic and if colors could describe feelings, i felt really a spotless white and silver with dashes of pink all through your write.
    Amazing write... the imagery ans flow is awesome. A deeply impressive work... I can't point out my favorite part, because, putting the whole poem in quotes is not really my style of commenting, but the refrain really does it in.
    "You are a star; you are a beautiful star,
    You are a star that shines even though it may be a wee bit far."

    I must say,I am rather impressed. You labeled yourself weird and yet here I see nothing to imply that at all. Are you leading a double life?

    really captured the reality of want

    This was a great poem and you really let the reader know that the feelings are strong and the speaker is willing to ignore the harsh words in exchange for just a glimps of the subjects affection, even if its for someone else. I think that you should try writing poetry without the last word of every line rhyming. Just a suggestion. Well Done!

    I'll say that this was very good.
    I enjoyed the imagery a lot. A little bit of the rhyming seemed forced,
    but not too bad.
    Overall it fit together nicely.

    However,
    "Even so, we lend a deaf ear to them and seek each other in every corner,
    The instant we shut our eyelids, all other things no longer matter!"

    Corner and matter don't rhyme.
    It disrupts the flow of them so maybe choose a word that will correspond with the one below or above it.

    Overall this was written very nicely.
    The metaphors were soothing and done great.

    Wonderful job, Care to read some of mine? <3

    There is a wonderful lyrical tone to these words. I like the repeated lines as well. There are some clichés here like "ever/clever" but to me love is a cliché and where would we be without it. It's always hardest to love someone that seems to be in love with another. Excellent musing!

    I like this. It has a nice flow, makes me want to hear it performed. The imagery is good, I wanted to point out some favorite lines but really there's more of them. I also like the astral feel to it. By comparing your loved one to a star you make it sound like the whole universe participates to your feelings. Welcome to AP, by the way.

    i absolutely love the refrain!
    "You are a star; you are a beautiful star,/ You are a star that shines even though it may be a wee bit far."
    a wonderful twist on what otherwise would be rather typical, beautiful... yet a "wee bit far," an undertone of troubling distance, a underlying struggle between intimacy and distance that runs throughout the poem. ("someone else's galaxy," "someone else's world." "Even so, we lend a deaf ear to them and seek each other in every corner,/ The instant we shut our eyelids, all other things no longer matter!") and the rhythm and earnestness in this is great.

    i have to admit that sometimes i had a bit of a hard time understanding the connection between the two lines and the couplet or the sequence, and sometimes things seemed obviouly manipulated to rhyme.
    i found some of the phrasing odd. "when you impart love," "when you exude such tenderness," "I feel calm and worry about none," "suggests the fact we are still satisfied." there's a lot of passive voice in this, dobn't know if that's intentional, but to me it kind of weighed this down.

    but there are some neat lines in this,
    "I proudly classify you as ‘classified’"
    and i like how you built on the astronomical images. anyways, cool, and thanks for pointing me this way!

    Great job! It's very different from the ordinary love writes.For example a lot of poem say things like "your my star" and keep ramblin' on about how important the person is but in this write you took that "star" to another level. The only part that threw me off was on the third stanza "wee bit far" I don't know, to me it didn't really fit to the mood the poem was setting, but over all it's great. welcome to AP.
