Wish Upon The Brightest Star

by Laura   Jul 4, 2005


Once I wished upon the brightest star,
And often wondered if the wish had to travel far.
For years I waited with no signs of a wish come true,
Until that inevitable day when I would meet you.

Before I felt like I was standing by the side of the road watching life pass me by,
But now I have never felt so much more alive than I do when you are by my side.
And I know I should have the power to resist your sweet temptation,
Except since the day that we met I have been lost too deep in this infatuation.

There is much more to you than making me feel more alive,
For with you all my pleasures feel intensely magnified.
You have helped to fill the profound void that lingers in my heart
I can finally let go of the past and enjoy a refreshing new start

Every spare minute of the day that my mind has to ponder,
Thoughts of you fill my head and my feelings seem to grow stronger.
Sometimes I think I must still be dreaming for you seem to good to be real
A soft spoken and sensual individual was just one side of you that did appeal

I could tell right away the attraction was true,
And could only hope that you felt the energy too.
One day when you look deep into my eyes,
Hopefully it will not take you long to realize.

All along this inexplicit, misunderstood stranger beside you,
Could be the one of your dreams and you never had a clue.
But we are just these victims of this strange circumstance,
One day we met by fate and this could be our only chance.

    OK my first comment...it cut me off...i had a big comment for you a didnt realize it had done that..sorry! could thing i read again

    Laura, i have told you before that what I love most about your poems is your choice of words...you pick rhymes that we dont normally see on PnQ and thats a great change for some of the readers that read your work! In the second stanza I found some of your sentences to be really long...but i thought about pointing it out or not because I kind of like it, then again it seems distracting since you have a quick flowing poem then a long stanza....BUT i dont think you should change it because again, i loved your choice of words!

    Amazing write woman! i love you poems!

    This poem is so sweet, and kind of sad...=( I really liked it, specially the first stanza...so lovely. I also liked the ending, because you said:

    One day we met by fate and this could be our only chance

    That's so beautiful.

    Good job!
