Brighter Than Stars

Gazing up at twilight skies
I take a breath and close my eyes
The darkness is an inky black
To mortal days I can't go back

A meaningless existence here
Is shattered when the light appears
Across my starry, twilight sky
A meteor lights up my life

Her brilliant beauty captures me
My twilight stars I cannot see
Radiance within her smile
Suddenly life seems worthwhile

And though I tried to leave you be
The sun you had become to me
The fire I revolved around
Without your light I nearly drowned

The moon and stars were dark as night
Dulled because she is so bright
She is the reason that I'm here
My light, my love, my Bella, my dear

    I've heard of this series of books..at least I think they're books haha.
    Lovely poem. The stars and space related imagery is always a nice touch and it's colossal and gentle all in the same breath. Well done and good luck in the contest
