First Kiss

by M_A_S
If I could talk to a star,
I’d whisper to one,
“I’ve always loved you.”
I’d understand
The celestial science of her elements,
The chemicals of her composition.
 
And I wouldn’t care
That she was just
A bright, gassy, nuclear thing.
That her heart was filled
With superheated heavy metals
Instead of love.
 
She would be empty of emotions
And longings for my human body
And thorny malice.
She'd have no need to deceive,
No means to lie.
My telescope and spectrograph show me her everything.
 
I'd let her gravity ensnare me
Into blissful circles
Until my orbit decayed.
I would close my eyes and spiral in
For a final first kiss
As my smiling atoms vaporized.
