Wrote some poetry abt jegulus bc I'm literally experiencing brainrot
An Ode to Regulus
Where are you,
My little star,
So far away from our annual intersection.
That one little spot,
Far away in the future,
When we eventually meet.
Oh, how I miss you,
My lion’s heart.
My weakness.
You know how your story goes,
Darling Regulus.
My stationary status disallows me from seeing you,
I shine,
And shine,
And shine,
Waiting for that one day,
On a late August evening,
In which we meet once again.
Oh, darling Regulus,
How I long to see you.
I wonder,
And wonder,
And wonder,
How long has it been since I last saw you?
It must be an early February morning,
For it feels as if you are so far away.
Though you are far away,
My darling Regulus,
I can see you,
Shining,
Shining,
Shining,
Far in the distance,
At my opposite.
You are my prince,
Darling Regulus.
The prince of the entire galaxy.
There may be others who shine brighter,
But your shine,
Oh, how you shine,
Is the only sparkling light
That I look for in this vast space.
Please glitter and glimmer for me,
As we meet up once again.
The Death of Regulus
You beautiful fiery ball of fire,
I see you,
Far in the distance.
I know you will miss me,
But I am dwindling,
The fire in me burning out.
I’ve always wondered,
And wondered,
And wondered,
What it would feel like to burn up.
To simply burn from the inside out.
I no longer have to wonder.
My imaginations,
Weren’t close to the real thing.
But even as I die,
My love,
I can only think of you.
Shining,
Shining,
Shining,
Waiting for me,
To return to you,
On that late August evening.
Even when I am gone,
Don’t forget me?
Is that too much to ask?
A star can only live so long,
Even when the love of the Sun sustains him.
So, my love,
I know it is my time to go.
I can feel my core,
Burning,
Burning,
Burning,
Ready to explode,
Into every fragment of myself.
I imagine that it must be beautiful,
The death of a star.
I wouldn’t know,
I’ve never seen it.
But,
My love,
I hope that you do not have to see
This particular star die.
Our love burned brighter
Than anything this galaxy had ever seen.
Maybe that’s just it.
I’ve burned up everything I could give,
Loving you.
Oh, my love, please forgive me.
I close my eyes,
In this vast space,
And I imagine
Your warm embrace
Curling and twisting around me,
And I can’t help the smile
That crawls across my face.
You, my love, are the Sun,
And everybody warns,
Oh, how they warn,
To never get too close.
“You’ll burn up,”
They had said,
And in reply,
I only maintained our closeness,
Disregarding everything they warned me against.
Those late August evenings,
My one night of peace in my constant orbit,
My respite,
My solace,
Where we shone,
And shone,
And shone,
Together.
My love,
I resign myself now,
To the fate of poor Icarus,
For how can I forgo being close to you?
Requiem
Oh, my darling Regulus,
Where have you gone?
Your beautiful glimmering light,
So present in my constant peripheral,
Is lost.
Have you succumbed
To the fate of your name?
Couer de Lion.
Heart of the Lion,
My heart,
My darling.
Has Hercules finally caught you?
Has he struck you through?
I cannot see you,
I cannot feel your presence,
Though I search,
And Search,
And Search,
For where could you have gone,
If not for the ultimate place,
Where all stars go to die?
The galaxy is darker without you,
My darling Regulus.
The other stars don’t dare to shine as bright anymore.
Though I cannot see you,
I see something new in the vast darkness.
A brightness that only you could rival.
A supernova,
That of the death of a star.
And I know,
Oh, how I know,
My darling Regulus,
That it must be you.
Vanquished by the arms of Hercules,
You still shine,
Like you’re shining for me.
Our love,
Though you are no longer here,
Is sustained in the aftershocks
Of your explosion.
Those beautiful bright colors
Reflecting across the galaxy
Are you
Despite your absence.
I miss you dearly,
My darling Regulus.
