Love Poem: Shooting Star

Shooting Star

Should I reach for the sky and catch this shooting star,

As she charily sheds her dainty white light?

 

Should I sail the seas without her treasure map,

And infinitely lose myself in her brown eyes?

 

Should I grapple her love, reach for the heart in sight,

And touch the beautiful flame of her candlelight?

 

Should I reach for the sky and catch this special star,

Even though all she might do is burn my fragile heart?
