Two Distant Stars

Two Distant Stars

In a velvet black expanse,

Empty loneliness encroaches

On two burning hearts of heat,

Glowing brightly for each other

Blazing pin pricks of light,

Reaching across the void,

Silver streams of light touch,

Like a feather soft caress.

Separated by light years,

Impossible to cross,

Yet yearning for the other,

And searing brighter still.

Until an incandescent super nova,

Engulfed in their fervor collapses,

In the most passionate implosion,

To devour their long lives whole.

They reach the event horizon,

Drawing the other nearer still,

Colliding in an explosive fury,

Compressed into black density.

Their doubled fiery ecstasy,

Radiates in a burst of glory,

Dispersed in ethereal particles,

Across time and space.
