Galaxy

Let me hold you and wrap my black velvet arms around your skin,
Encased like the balls of fire sitting so high
Fall in with arms open and eyes closed.

Staring down with protecting eyes,
Innocent beauty of forgotten dreams,
Lights so bright, magnificent in the dark,
Lie down and be free.

Don't be scared, the gentle night weeps on
Smiling down with eyes so warm,
You'll be kept safe, an orbit so rare
As they hold you close, for thousands of years.

I wish that you would,
Let me love you so,
For I too, like the stars,
Could never let you go.
