Stars

Buckets full of liquid stars

Glisten brightly in the dark

Shadows from a vacant space

Slide into the stars lost place

Shadows haunt the evening tide

Wraiths that leap before my eyes

Guard the ocean late at night

Hungrily they lust for fright

Waves that reach to touch the moon

Send their spray in downy plumes

Sparkle as they crash back down

Seeking rocks and sand to drown

Aching hurt inside my chest

Longs for somewhere safe to rest

Reaching out for love to fill

The empty void inside me thrill

Empty is the lonely beach

Where the light of stars can't reach

Empty feels my stony heart

Searching, craving in the dark
