"I loved all the boys with soft sad eyes and lost souls." -Grace Coddington

I don’t believe in
astrology but I’ve started
doing many things unusual for me
like writing poems on
the backs of pages and
sharing the  spaces between my
fingers with boys most
undeserving, so it came as no
surprise when suddenly I was
checking the stars for
our compatibility.

We are twin fire signs fueled by
the passion and power of the sun:
mine a sensitive faith that
can move mountains,
your strong hands leading
the loyal and the lost.

I’ve tried loving you in the most
selfless ways but my heart
can’t help but wonder, who are
we to deny ourselves a love
that challenges, fulfills, and enhances
all the incredible, sparkling things
that the universe has instilled in us?

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I really liked to sound and the imagery, but I think for your purposes it should be
"astrology" not "astronomy". Just something that went through my mind as I read it!
