Stars in Love

Why stars shine bright
Feel so good at night
So where are you now
Alone again somehow
When all in my heart
You know from the start
Could be here for you
Be so right so new
In what I am saying
Love is now arraying

Why feel so alone, you ask, when even stars are in love?! You yourself provide the answer in this short but sweet poem composed in such a fine acrostic style! Many thanks for your efforts, dear poet!

Nice, romantic poem Yankee4u. I don't have the answer, maybe we can decide or choose our own attitudes regarding feelings but we can't choose or decide to fall in love

Marikia - Yes I think somehow the stars really do align when it times to fall in love...

Ayhra - I love the way you describe emotional choices. Love presents an interesting conundrum; who does the choosing? Is love anything more or less between two people who are obsessive 'helpmates' more than 'soulmates'; complimentary supporters who truly give and keeps giving...both ways!!?

Hi Yankee

Your whole word acrostic works very well: An extremely fine poem with a great message.

Ayhra, Hmmmm 'fire and friendship' is a wonderful definition of love....perhaps the fire ignites the passion and the friendship supplies its fuel?...yet it stands to reason...getting that combination right takes a little care...for instance is it... a slow steady warm burn....or a quick and furious blaze......or am I missing something???

I am not sure if I understand 100% your comment. Why do you ask me if you are missing something? When I say fire, I mean passion. Passion + friendship = Love. You are right, any kind of relationship needs care and attention. But once you have the passion, you work on the friendship. It may work the other way, you have a friend, and the passion borns... It doesn't matter, you still need both. Just another point of view :) Have a great weekend my friend
