a valentines day dedication: On a shooting star [my Russian valentine]


On a shooting star [my Russian valentine]

 

When I turn over in bed and see the empty space next to me.

That’s when I think of you.

When the golden sun rises and lights the morning dew.

That’s when I think of you.

When I see children smiling and having fun.

That’s when I think of you.

When the night sky is dark and the moon hides from my wandering eyes.

That’s when I think of you.

When the snow falls and turns the world of colors into a greyscale land of wonder and mystery.

That’s when I think of you.

 

When darkness arrives and it is still too early for the dawn,

And the only light I can see is the stars in the skies.

That’s when I think of you.

When Haley’s comet roars across the stratosphere

Like true love seeking two open hearts to bind together for eternity and a day.

That’s when I think of you.

When the wicked desires of the curse plaguing the institution of humanity arise to power.

That’s when I think of you.

 

When I look into the mirror I see your smile.

When I look into the sun I see your hair.

When I stare into the endless blue skies I see your eyes.

When I see the rain I see your tears.

 

When I see a lowly dog searching for an owner

I see myself trying to get closer to you.

 

To build that bridge to cross your heart,

To find the brick and mortar to rebuild my broken heart,

I feel like I am in an arms race to grasp your hands,

The concentric circles that revolve around the heart and soul that is my sun and my moon,

You sharpen my view, leaving me nigh a dull outlook on life,

The unwritten book that could be our story,

I run to protect you to cover your heart and soul from life’s harsh barrage,

The blitzkrieg assault that the universe throws at us both.

 

I am your shield and you my sword

And together there is no force we cannot overcome.

I climb the mountain just to shout to you below.

A man with nothing left to lose and everything to gain,

I am a noble knight on a quest to find his way.

 

You are the stars in the sky granting me light.

Guiding me even in the darkest of night.

All is one and one is all,

And I will catch you no matter the fall.

 

So sleep with ease and awake with a smile

Knowing that when you are my moon I am your sun.

 

While you rest from your hard day

I watch over you from a distance afar.

And when you wake I will be there

To greet you riding on a shooting star.

 

To the sweetest of candy

A girl who’s so dandy.

To a girl who’s smart and always mine

I wish you love and joy, my Russian valentine.
