This poem I've written with my own imagination and to certain extent truth revealed.Well,this poem really gives about astronomy.Earlier in my childhood I was dreaming to become Astronaut one day.But it didn't happen..So still I'm living with my dream.At least I can live looking at the sky and ofcourse with my poem.
Star Gazing
Star clusters are seen as faint patches
In Southern Hemisphere - Magellanic patches
In Northern Hemisphere - Spirals of a billion stars.
Initially stars look white - twinkling in the atmosphere
Then all the colours of the rainbow
Radiate from a single star - because starlight
Is a combination of all the colours of the spectrum
It is night time on Mount Whistler
Two star struck lovers gaze at each other
Then they gaze at the beauty of the night sky.
The Boy identifies with the Pole Star
The Girl with Sirius - they both sparkle.
They recognise that the stars are with them
Caring and sharing in their starry love.
The Boy loves Astrology and wants to share....
His love of stars with the love of his life.
He lovingly points out to her the constellations.
ARIES the Ram - TAURUS the Bull - GEMINI the Twins
CANCER the Crab - LEO the Lion - VIRGO the Virgin
LIBRA the Scales - SCORPIO the Scorpion
SAGITTARIUS the Archer - CAPRICORN the Sea-Goat
AQUARIUS the Water Bearer - PISCES the Fish.
He explains to her that they are influential Birth Signs
He is Capricorn (January) and she is Virgo (September).
Their love will blossom like a Summer Flower
Their relationship will be as sweet as Mountain Honey.
Sweetheart - my diamond star is you
No one could ever compare with you.
You ask me how much I love you - my Precious
My love for you is greater than all these stars
Greater than each and the sum of the Constellations
You are my Precious Gem - my Golden Angel.
I am like JADE - pure - pale - perfect - precious
You are like RUBY - strong - sure - scintillating.
Virgo and Capricorn - Jade and Ruby - a perfect combination
Forged in Heaven and sealed on Earth
Oh my sweetheart - I am so so proud of you
Oh my Honey - I feel like an Astronaut - my Heart
Is so so happy - flying free among the stars.
It's a Great honour to know you and love you
I love you so so much ................................

You have not only included much knowledge about the stars, you have also crafted a truly romantic poem. I am very interested in Astrology and do astrological charts for friends and there is just so much to learn about the energy transmitted from the stars. Thank you for sharing this delightful poem Dulakshi.
No doubt, this is the best poem you have written up to date. I see you have put lots of effort to write this poem too. This is simply great Dulakshi.
Love the passion of your poem! Dorothy A Poet Who Loves To Sing
Beautifully written Most enjoyable, thank you for sharing, I enjoy nature poetry and most of all, any odes to the stars , sun, moon and Heavenly bodies above....peace be with you William
Love radiates from this fascinating poem that combines the awe and mystery of star-gazing with the tender heart of a lover. I like the fact that offer the reader the more scientific astronomical version of the universe with its more metaphysical astrological interpretation. Your personal experience of both gives 'meat' to this heart-felt write. Congratulations. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Some great similes in this shinning piece Dulakshi...a very good write which shows your deep interest in astrology...well done!!
what a glittering poetry Dulakshi you have composed here.well done,
Very very lovely and touches the memories of anyone who has loved when young, and wished on stars and likened them to diamonds. A charming write.
Like this long poem stars too far away And the love too like unlimited stars in the sky.
