Starry Love

Time moves on forward fast, Like rapids hurtling unheedingly headlong Towards a sheer deep cascade, And plummet down below in a mighty roar To flow relentlessly towards the infinite sea Drifting straight into eternal oblivion. Yet time can ne'er erase all memories, And special ones will always linger In the obscure corridors of my mind. Hence I can never forget my dear, The night that we first met. Were not that night the stars conspiring To throw a luminous light on our love? Did not the twinkling stars shoot out their ways In the clear expanse of nightly sky? There under a lonely carob tree, Where dry old leaves crackled Under our woollen spreads, You smiled benignantly at me And suddenly I knew How hungry was I for a love so true. We were like two of those gems above, Shooting their way across the skies. And fate decreed that those two stars should meet In an astral collision and fuse into a lasting blast. Light sparkled above sublimely An ethereal fireworks display, That lasted for one long memorable moment, But the light in our love will last Until the end of our days.
