“Tome of Stars” is a 100 sonnet journey, equal parts art, therapy journal, and exorcism, both a celebration and an elegy, a single narrative arc tracing the birth and death of a relationship. All poetry by Stargazer. The verse and accompanying synthetic art and music are public domain, CC0, with no restrictions on use. Nothing is monetized. See below for links on how to access the print, PDF, audio, ePub, video, and music files. Website: tomeofstars.net

The opening section of “Tome of Stars”, titled “Item 1: Anthesis”, comprises 21 poems that chronicle the emergence and flowering of a romantic relationship, structured around the botanical metaphor of anthesis, the period during which a flower blooms. 

“Leaves of Stars” gathers moments from personal memory, mythology, and literature to create a layered tribute to the beloved, using the motif of sacred trees as a unifying image. The sonnet moves between real places (a tree outside her dormitory, a banyan on a volcanic island), and mythic landscapes, such as Tolkien’s Valinor. These trees serve both as physical settings for intimacy and as metaphors for enduring love, spiritual connection, and cosmic beauty. By drawing connections between natural beauty, shared memory, and mythic narrative, the beloved is constructed not just as a person remembered, but as a presence who is woven into the spiritual and symbolic structure of the cosmos itself. The final couplet unites these threads into a vision of transfigured union, immortalized in writing and through the celestial symbolism of “leaves of stars.”.

Lyrics

A verdant campus row of London planes
Stands sentinel to frame a tree apart.
You watched it glow outside your windowpane—
A beacon, haven for our hidden hearts.

Across the seas, where molten mountains sleep,
The banyan’s curtained chamber clasped us tight.
With gentle winds, in tender moments reaped,
We kissed—your locks of midnight dancing bright.

In Valinor, by trunks of silver-gold,
She blessed the gems that caught their holy light;
And Varda’s hand took dewdrops to unfold,
The stellar dance that glorifies the night.

Our radiance merged as those jewels divine:
Ten thousand leaves of stars, sweet breath entwined.
