to the star of a million nights ago

i shall wait for you fervently
when you cross the landscape
i roam 
when you tread as before, like a 
shepherded lamb on its way
home


things are no different from
what were before, and this i
say
i shall love you no less, not an
ounce, not a breath, not a
day


my reveries will be of you and
my name, my hours are yours to
keep
my secrets to your ears shall be
brought and never again to my
sleep


i will see your face in the rain, in
the dawn and in all the smiles that
stray
and in the end, when death to my
door knocks, your music they will
play


forgive me these silly confessions, 
these little vows, the repetitions i
speak
the star from a million nights ago
and burning brightly still...you i
seek


your naissance is my rebirth
