STAR STRUCK GAZE

                                             STAR STRUCK GAZE

Your eyes, a beacon, a radiant gleam,

reflecting the starlight of a thousand dreams.

Those eyes are a window to a soul that dances with both shadow and light.

Those eyes, constellations of stars,

shine Golden, a reflection of your soul.

Your voice, a whisper, a gentle art,

a melody that captures my very heart.

My heart, a captive, lost in endless nights,

I wish to stay in your sky like a star.

But distance whispers, a silent plea,

Across the miles, meant not to be.

Though miles may stretch, and shadows creep,

My heart still whispers, secrets to keep.

I trace ur smile in my mind.

You, My Starlit Dream, guide me with your gentle light.

Forever bound by unseen ties,

Beneath the vast and endless skies,

My Golden Star is still with me.
