Drops of gold

Look at the gold droplets across the black canvas, let your imagination run wild.

Sitting on my chair 

I looked up at the night sky 

Reminiscing on my experiences from London 

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and London

I remember our first night overlooking the River Thames

In Richmond

But I'm here

Looking up at the stars, I wonder

How the moment is right now in London

It's early morning over there

I exhaled

A small cloud formed

So many beautiful stars in the night sky

I couldn't see the stars in London

Too much pollution

I love seeing the stars

Wondering how far away it is from earth

Sometimes they look so close

Yet so far away

I wonder if I can touch them

Plucking the stars from the night sky

One by one

I tucked a star for you

Safely in my pocket

That star is right in the middle in the universe

The tiny jewel that stands out among all others

Slowly

I plucked more stars

And tucked it away

One 

By 

One

Until the black canvas was empty

Nothing was visible 

I put the stars away in a treasure chest

Ready to be opened when I need to feel inspired 

A couple of years passed 

I opened the treasure chest again

The stars are still there

Still has its radiant shine

I felt inspired again

The evening sky is empty

I took the stars from the chest

And put it back where it belonged in the sky

All but one

I kept the last star in my pocket

Safely tucked away

The stars sighed happily

Reunited again with the white crescent moon

The moon smiled 

Everything is in place again.

This is one of the most beautiful romantic poems I've read in a long time...Collecting stars...like wishes...and keeping just one tucked safely in your pocket...
(reminding me of my first love, who used to say, "Sometimes, I want to put you in my pocket". A term I never quite understood at the time.)
You have a stellar imagination and your creativity shines in this beautiful poem.
Going into my favs
