I Asked the Stars (To Keep You Alright)

a sonnet

        (I)

I looked up at 

The sky tonight

Checked out the moon's

Wee slice of light

And asked the stars

To keep you alright

With all their might

       (II)

I looked up 

At the sky tonight

Imagined your face

Bathed in star-light

And I made a wish

For one more night

Just holding you tight

One more night, how romantic is this sonnet of loss. Lovely imagery Jim, your words have such beauty and infuse love. So very nicely penned.

Thank you so much. Love poems is where I started in poetry and I like to revisit on occasion. ~Jim
