AstroGirl by John Robson - Poetry Writing Competition 2024 2nd Place

Writer: Creative Writing CommitteeCreative Writing Committee

Once more at my desk, a familiar sight

Passion burns orange as flickers guide my night.

The Goal’s to kiss the stars but I end up face 2 ceiling

I inhale the flame, just the same but get a different feeling.


Space pirate once more I try to find the end

Searching for a universe where we can be something more than friends

The cosmos dance and I’m entranced I cannot find my way

Written in the stars, a fucking horrid fate


I promised you the constellations but cannot find the concentration

I fight and fight and try and try but Lack the motivation

No discipline, no drive, no gravity of the situation.

Forced to float atop a star, cannot leave my station


The weight of you the thought of you I just can’t escape

At the end I’d always be alone, an astronomical mistake

Astral skies are set alight I’m blinded by my thoughts

My shattered mind broken down by every war I’ve fought


Suddenly I’ve lost my grip I’m lost amidst the galaxy

No lights no moon no saturn’s rings to help me guide my way

I’m sinking sinking, falling falling, paralyzed by fear

Lost my grip and lost my mind crash through the atmosphere


The high wears off my time is up, back at this fucking desk

Muted by the feeling, I’m feeling less and less


But then, there’s you, and suddenly it’s fine

Astrogirl you take my hand, fly off into the night


Saturn’s rings intertwine, engagement rings, yours and mine

Astrogirl you’ve saved my life every, single, time

We dance throughout the constellations on our astral date

Astrogirl I'd move the stars to make our meeting fate.


With you, I can, regardless of the circumstance

Infinite power I’ve achieved through our cos-mic romance

A supernova in my heart I cannot hold my love it’s true

Anything you asked of me, I’d steal the moon for you.


My moonlight, my star, my guidance in the night

Because of you, I am god, I’ll fin-a-lly take flight

You and I atop the moon we’ll conquer all the stars

Me and you can make it through, we’ll weather any scar


Astrogirl I’ll do it all, I’ll make the stars align

Galaxies in palms of hands just so I can call you mine

Astrogirl my heart is yours I need the world to see

Astrogirl when it all ends, I hope it’s you and me.


They say the brightest stars will burn the fastest but I want you here forever

My Sirius I’m serious I’ll come look for you wherever.
