"Azure Interlude" - A Poem from Nearly 20 Years Ago

I wrote a lot of poetry back during my undergrad days, but once I found that I enjoyed doing fiction more, I never picked it back up (despite filling a huge notebook with well-transcribed versions along with accompanying images). Since Steemit seems to have a thriving (and growing) poetry community, I thought I'd add a little fuel to that particular fire. I hope you enjoy :)

She dreamt of the stars
When her head swam
Too close to the moon
As harps of angels
Lulled her to wake
In the tail of a comet
Ridden by a spaceman
Not wanting to go home.
She had the milky way
Across her brow and
Stardust on her cheek
That glistened in
The absence of light
That starry afternoon.
The ring around her finger
Held the signals sent from
Her special traveler
And now she needed to find him,
Alone, as she dreamt of stars.
