The Mortal's Star

Distant jewel
Gleaming in the dead of night
If I could I'd take a rocket
Or even a giant kite
Float up to you
And wrap you in my arms
Precious treasure to call mine
Do all to protect you from harm
But alas
Your heart remains
Fluttering on glass wings
Set up to shatter instantly
Should I, a humble king
Ever get close enough to you
For although our love is true
Whatever shall we do?
The moon and the planets
All of whom I know quite well
Have long ago once fallen victim
To your gleaming spell
For me to steal you now
Like a black hole having it's way
Would tear them all to nothing
By all we do and say
So my diamond vessel
Gleam brightly high up above
Though I cannot capture you
There's nothing stronger than our love.
