The Astronomy of Love

By Nirvana Samsara

Even between you and me,
this gap that you feel
is a million light years away,
where I can't see,
but I can feel your silence
rippling through the stars.

We drift away,
just like how the universe expands—
we drift apart,
like galaxies pulled by unseen threads,
like time stretching
between two fading Venuses.

Even between you and me,
this gap that you feel
is filled with memories and moments—
echoes of laughter,
time-worn promises,
where everything seemed to last forever,
but now are found nowhere.

We shall meet again
in a multiverse,
where the red string of fate
holds us closer,
and where we live a life
the universe once promised.

Nirvana Samsara is an emerging poet from India who writes poems for the soul. Her work lives in the spaces between love and longing, life and death, silence and memory. She often blends human emotion with nature, using symbolic imagery drawn from sky, water, light, and the body to speak about the tacenda — the things we left unsaid. @nirvana_samsara_
