just another love poem

Another Type of Groove was last night. Dante Basco was super chill. He had some really good poetry, as did everyone else on the open mic. But still not as good as him. Inspiration hit me late Tuesday night and I ended up writing this poem. I said it for open mic, my first time. Hope you enjoy.

one day i took a look into my mind

to my surprise, what did i find?

a galaxy full of millions of stars

wondering what all of them are

a thought, a memory, a feeling, an emotion

all mixed up in a celestial ocean

some formed into constellations

others remained in isolation

some barely gave off any light

others shined ever so bright

but there was one so bright you can see from afar

it shined even brighter than the North Star

who or what could this possibly be?

a thought, a feeling, a memory?

i know it's something special to me

but still, it remains a mystery

just a little sign would do

just a little hint or clue

the star keeps sparkling in my mind

a twinkle that's simply one of a kind

and then it hit me, and then i knew

that shining star has gotta be you

you've got that twinkle in your eye

that fills my stomach with butterflies

now the thought of you is on my mind

i press the play button, then hit rewind

and relive the moment you were here with me

when you were just more than a memory

when you and me were a constellation

a beautiful embodiment of God's creation
