Go And Catch A Falling Star(For Anu) Poem by Dónall Dempsey

The stars
observe

our kiss

(hear me talking
to myself)

'This kiss is paradise
on earth! '

Startled, a star

falls from its appointed
place.

'Wish...wish! '

you insist between kisses.

I wish.

Wish(that if there is)
a paradise hereafter

it will be
just this

this kiss
forever.

'What did you wish for? '
you plead.

I wished...

for what I already have

for what is

already

true.

And, then
(to prove the point)

I kiss you.
