I have seen
The stars,
And all the stories
You have embroidered
In their arms.

I have seen the sirens
Hanging on the tips
Of the moon,
Singing a bewitching melody,
For the sailors
Roaming the skies.

Those
Who drink rum
And those
Chasing
Dragons
With fiery breath
That pursue
Falling stars
To the ends of the earth
Dancing a ballet,
In graceful dips, swings and turns.

Stars that shed their light upon
Mermaid eggs and pirate kings,
Dragons coiled around towers,
Courtesans selling sex and
Little girls searching for adventure.
So one day lovers on riverbanks
Might point
And write
The adventures of romance
They have seen hidden
In the skies
While they counted stars.
