The stars above us

Today's prompt is to write a ghazal. I had not heard of this form until now, so the poem below is my first attempt...


The stars above us

Look up, dear love, at the stars above us
See how they shine, all the stars above us

Some far, some near, but shining in the night
See how they flicker, the stars above us

Some cold, some hot, some new, but some are dead
We'll stay or go to the stars above us

We'll glide and ride and fly among stardust
We'll laugh and dance on the stars above us

And I, Andrea, won't return to you
I'd stay among all the stars above us
