That fated moment
my telescope of longing
saw your constellation of bedazzling beauty,
I felt the love shine
deep into the black emptiness
where I had drifted forever.
Inhaling your radiance,
never dreaming it would die,
how could I know to burn so bright
meant the light would be consumed?
In the wake of the black hole
in which you fell as an ebbing flame
was I also swallowed,
my heart felt the death
as a hollow shell of pulse.

Awesome! Excellent piece! I like the way the heavenly bodies fall into words of poetry. In this case, powerful...just enough.
Wonderful fellow poet!
Thanks for sharing and best of luck.
