Letter on the Sill

“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.

In the classical margam of bharatanatyam, the varnam is the recital’s centerpiece, its longest and most emotionally charged performance. In “Tome of Stars“, the varnam appears as the twenty-nine-poem section “Senescence”. Following the exaltation of Anthesis, the beloved as a celestial goddess, love now descends from the stars into the gravity of human frailty. 

This sonnet marks the central collapse of the romantic and spiritual union chronicled throughout “Tome of Stars“. All mythologies and retrospections now converge on a single period of rupture: August 2011. Here, the entanglements of trauma, guilt, moral duty, and unmet emotional needs combust in a final reckoning. The tone is emotionally raw, accusatory. It records the dissolution of the poet’s shared world with the beloved, highlighting not only external pressures (marriage, children, societal norms) but also the deep failings in mutual support and moral verdicts. The breaking point is presented not merely as a tragedy, but as a crucible that exposes irreconcilable fault lines in their bond.

***********
Lyrics

And so, in August, twenty one and one,
What Fate had carved into my bones, so passed.
The shame, the lies, the poisons old, then won,
And proved a bond eternal could not last.

My heart I’d tear in two to love you whole,
Impale my core and wreck a family.
But wounding others—children—burnt my soul;
I sought your solace, begged on bended knee.

From Himalayan heights, my trust you’d fling;
Withdraw your arms when I most needed care.
This sin I’d suffer sole—you’d take no sting
Of judgment’s blade, that I alone would bear.

We shattered on that cataclysmic day,
With fiendish cries that tolled ardor’s decay.

asking for bad things to unfold

grasping for past links to fractals
actions distracting to ones told

don’t give yourself up now, don’t give yourself up now
don’t give yourself up now, don’t give yourself up now

don’t give yourself up now, don’t give yourself up now
don’t give yourself up now, don’t give yourself up now

move passed the world
just let it go, let the land slide on it’s own
you’re fast to learn
i don’t know, i don’t know if
this is the one for me
move minds and memories
this is the one for me
silent serenity…

Moving On (Acoustic)

Zach Hood - Flashbacks

I thought that mom and dad were ‘sposed to last forever
Like they promised at the altar in Alabama
They were young, in love, and didn’t know any better
Yeah they planned to started a family there together

Things they changed when you walked away
You left me wondering if you ever cared
I wish you stayed but I’ll be okay
Cause I learned from you that life’s not always fair

I’ve been getting flashbacks
Of hearing you fight behind the door
Know you’ll never call back
I don’t even miss you anymore
Cause i’ve been doing fine
Without you in my life
I’ve been getting flashbacks
I’ve been getting flashbacks

Driving down the highway to the school yard
And you’d tell me stories ‘bout when you were young
You used to be my hero, then you put up your guard
I used to be so proud to be your son

Things they change when you walked away
It’s funny how the table’s gone and turned
From 4 to 3 - when we go out to eat
And momma’s sitting by herself again

I’ve been getting flashbacks
Of hearing you fight behind the door
Know you’ll never call back
I don’t even miss you anymore
Cause i’ve been doing fine
Without you in my life
I’ve been getting flashbacks
I’ve been getting flashbacks

Now I know
How not to treat the loved ones I outgrow
Take me home
Before we got caught in the undertow

I’ve been getting flashbacks
Of hearing you fight behind the door
Know you’ll never call back
I don’t even miss you anymore
Cause i’ve been doing fine
Without you in my life
I’ve been getting flashbacks
I’ve been getting flashbacks

you left me wondering if you ever cared..
