Star Gazing Poem by James Casey

Star Gazing

We stopped to watch the stars last night.
The stars, that filled the sky
Reminded me of the sparkle,
That's always in your eyes

The brilliance of the evening
My thoughts drifted back to you
Knowing you were with me made
The evening all seem new

My open heart reached out
I longed to feel your touch
To find that heavenly goddess
The angel that I need so much

I felt your hand so gentle
Then I drifted into your arms
A smile touched upon your lips
I was melted by your charms

Those stars shone down on me last night
They looked on you and touched my heart
My open heart reached out and found
That everything was right

With the beauty of the stars
I was feeling full of wonder
Twinkling flashes and the glitter
Of the blanket I was under

I sat and watched the stars last night
And saw your face aglow
Love engulfed me gently when
We snuggled there below

Conquered by love's sweet breath
I had to stop and watch those stars
For I was once again reminded
Just how truly beautiful you are
