My Cassiopeia

"Infatuation is the intense yearning to be 
intensely yearned for" ~ quote by poet

My Cassiopeia - how tenderly 
you smiled upon me in my awkward days,
as unashamedly my eyes would gaze 
in disbelief upon such pure beauty. 
Rare supernova! There's no fairer face,
so flawless in form. Elegance refined:
your cheeks, your smile by heaven's King designed 
to lend delight - not one hair out of place.
How we both laughed! We'd sing your poetry 
late into moonlit hours, each unaware 
of others nearby, nor the unkind stare
of our next day's responsibility. 
Then, the eclipse. Those stellar days were through 
when to Orion's huntsman arms you flew.
