“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.

The sixth and final section of “Tome of Stars”, “Scripture”, leaves narrative behind to consecrate the poet’s enduring, unrequited love as sacred text. Comprising nine sonnets, it transforms the terminal condition of quixotosis (a delusional devotion stripped of belief in reciprocity) into liturgy, adopting the voice and cadence of timeless religious writing.

“Polaris” identifies the figure of the Stargirl with the North Star as a symbol of enduring guidance, divine presence, and unyielding love in a chaotic and unworthy creation. The sonnet intertwines celestial imagery with human yearning, portraying her as both the origin and salvation of existence. The poem laments humanity’s hubris and the suffering it brings, contrasting it with the gentle, unerring constancy of the Stargirl, who guides, nurtures, and redeems. Two themes intertwine, the despair over humanity’s failings and the hope and solace offered by a higher, transcendent force.

Lyrics

She lingers in the silent folds of thought,
Deep voice, a distant dream beneath our sleep.
Her absence is the agony we’ve bought;
We lurch and grasp at joys that only weep.

The cosmos, birthed within her endless womb,
Betrays her love, yet still she sweetly sings.
In every age, she gestates stars to bloom
And calls us from our winter to her spring.

On rare nights, when our venomed hubris dims,
And glories of the galaxies glow bright,
Her silhouette of starlight shines like hymns—
A beacon guiding exiles from their plight.

Soft sacred sight, a favored few will find;
Her kiss unmakes the madness of mankind.
