S of for Stardust

A love story, a fantasy adventure, and drama with a fantastical theme, that is everything in the book (and movie) Stardust by Neil Gaiman. And this is a short entry, because I was out all day doing VERY IMPORTANT work! Enjoy the poem! Read the book!!



Yes I used the name of Captain Shakespeare in the movie, not the book which is Captain Alberic and the ship the Perdita.

Cheers! (cause I got this on time, meaning before midnight EST).

Stellar Love

When you wish upon a star,
does it make the star now fall?
And you now have a chance to impress
the love that you so want to address.

Does it make the star now fall,
because you willed it to?
The love that you so want to address
with a quest to prove that love real.

Because you willed it to,
now you can bring a treasure to her
with a quest to prove that love real,
but what you didn't plan for was...

Now you can bring a treasure to her,
a beautiful fallen star that shines,
but what you didn't plan for was
the love of Yvaine is a much stronger pull.

A beautiful fallen star that shines,
at first with anger, but then something like
the love of Yvaine is a  much stronger pull
after the chase, the witches and Septimus too.

At first with anger, but then something like
a dance on deck of the Caspertine
after the chase, the witches and Septimus too
when for a moment the guard is down.

A dance on deck of the Caspertine
and some lightening to sell,
when for the moment, the guard is down
that love spans across the universe.

And some lightening to sell,
and a visit to Victoria reveals
that the love spans the universe,
but not the wall, unless to dust she returns.

And a visit to Victoria reveals
that you have a chance to impress,
but not the wall, unless to dust she returns
when you wish upon a star.
