The stars are falling ....

The stars are falling on my roof,
Some crash in through the window pane
Some like feathers silently
Slide across the milky way.

The stars are falling on my skin
They burn a bit and then dim
The ones I had named some long ago
Perci, Frensh , Love and Kim.

Right before one turns ash
A word it whispers in my ear
'Darling won't you close your eyes,
Darkness will be coming next.'

The stars have fallen
All million one
Sky and me lie face to face
With much grace and quiet charm,
Empty bellied all the way
