Poetry, The Constellation Series
on suns, skies and constellations

The road to the stars: THE CONSTELLATION SERIES

When I drew the roads to my heart
And marked the paths,
With the shining constellations
προσπαθούν να βρουν πυξίδα
(Trying to find Pyxis)

I found that you,
Had already made yourself at home
Even though, I had barred my bones
And torn all muscled pathways
To stop you from reaching it.

When my breath
Felt like the ebbing winds during a sunset
And my soul drowned in the darkness of the night sky
I found the patterned stars
Shining through our entwined hands.

When the dusk sat upon my eyelids,
Coloring my skin in scarlets, yellows and golds
I would find the dawn,
Spring pink and baby blue
Waiting within your arms.

When our eyes met,
We didn’t need any language to translate our love
They glistened like stars,
And the language that gushed forth,
Was the river Eridanus.
