Supernova Heart

Come and sit with me
in your little star 
in the sky.


Waiting for your supernova.

Black hole
losing its grip
on 
our fear of love.

I can
and
I will

light you up,

like 
there was never a broken heart
to start with.

Eject the mass,
and 
be ready to burst open.

Love like the night-time sun.

    I thought "Champagne Supernova" initially with some dread but was so pleasantly delighted by your poem! I like the idea of a black hole losing its grip - particularly on our fear of love!

      I had to look up ' Champagne Supernova'! Had no idea what it was. :-D
      Thank you Jools! It is one of my favourite lines/ideas!

    Lighting us up like there was never a broken heart to begin with...we all need something like that, don't we? :)

      It is a blessing to have a love like that in our lives, Keith. Even more so if it comes from inside ourselves. Radiate!
