Poetry about stars
1. Stars - michale faudet
Magic tumbled from her pretty lips and
when she spoke the language of the
universe —the stars sighed in unison.
poem by – Michael Faudet
2. 93 percent stardust - nikita gill
We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins,
carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains.
93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames,
we are all just stars that have people names.
poem by – Nikita Gill
3. Violet Flame - Jadine Lydia
The flame within her burned so bright.
She tore down stars,
and brought galaxies to light.
She coursed cosmos and ether,
from her violet heart stream,
her aura alight,
with sun and moonbeams.
She scattered the sky,
with green moldavite,
dazzling white showers
and vast rays of light.
And in this explosion,
she could not be tamed,
for it was her supernova,
it was her violet flame.
extract from – And So She Chose
4. Stardust - manya
i do not know a lot of things but this i know for sure
that the stars must be proud of how they turned
their stardust into atoms of you;
and your existence speaks how
your home is with the stars.
but they knew that this cursed earth needed a
beautiful existence as yours and so
they sent you here with all their heart.
poem by – @poetryofmanya
5. Born of Stardust - lizzie
Look at your wrist—see rivers run blue.
A story inked where stars once grew.
Their silent ashes now subdued.
Particles of stardust—softly remain,
Still running, deep in your veins.
Your veins hold secrets—maps unseen,
Where gentle giants once dreamed.
The stardust in your blood,
Leaves a trace—a supernova’s burning grace.
It leaves a memory, so soft and sweet.
A memory, now yours to keep.
Perhaps, you are the breath of stars that soar,
A spark that rises, forevermore.

6. I Once Was a Comet - Moonlight & poetry
I once was a comet,
trailing dust and scars,
a wound from the galaxy,
silent under the weight of stars.
My heart—a black hole,
devouring light and warmth,
hiding in the depths,
afraid of being torn apart.
But the moon whispered softly,
her light a balm for my soul,
a pull that taught me gravity,
to rise, to heal, to be whole.
I learned from the constellations,
how they burn despite the night,
how even in their darkest moments,
they find their way to light.
I drift through space,
learning to love each scar,
knowing every piece of me
is a reflection of a star.
Now I rise like a supernova,
brilliant, fierce, and free,
I’ve learned to dance with the cosmos,
and in the void, I found me.
No longer lost in darkness,
I burn with love and grace,
healed by the constellations,
and the beauty of my space.
poem by – Moonlight & Poetry
7. You are the inside of the universe - XAN OKU
You are a part of this universe,
as much as the planets,
as much as the stars.
You are not a spectator.
You are not looking in from the outside.
You are the inside looking at itself.
Know that you are both
the viewer and the view;
this is the deepest self-reflection.
poem by – XAN OKU
8. Eternal Glow - Jadine Lydia
In the presence of darkness,
she shone her pure, white light.
A reflection of sunlight,
in a vast, open sky.
Held by her heartstrings,
and cradled by the stars,
she gazed beyond matter,
to Jupiter and Mars.
She glistened, she twinkled,
and sang to the sea,
turning the changing tides,
with effortless flow and ease.
She whispered, she glittered,
and lit dark, heavy skies,
with the eternal glow,
of knowing her own light.
extract from – And So She Chose
9. Sonnet of Stars - Ananya Venkataramaiah
She had never seen any stars like this
A sea of darkness, Perfect rips of light.
The moonlight brightened the land, pure white kiss
Scattered and spotted amongst the velvet night.
The lights went on and off, a constant dawn
rays of disappointment stabbed her, a curse
But then, when the lights finally died down.
All at once. You could see the universe.
Untold, unseen, untouched and Unwritten.
The stars flew by, too heart-achingly fast
Not a single star was made to fit in
We raised our hands, earning to touch the sky, ever vast
We dreamt of touching the sky, ever vast
All was left, was the bloody messy art
that the rays of the stars stabbed in her heart.
poem by – Ananya Venkataramaiah
10. The Star and the Coyote - luke levi
The difference between a star
and the coyote’s flickering eyes
in the forest is little; both sing
of dark beauty that is hidden
when dreams open the well
of the soul. Both are shy:
the star wrapped in a thin cloud,
the coyote peeking beside juniper.
I search the night for eyes
and a million rush forth
to mirror my own.
poem by – Luke Levi
11. LIKE THE STARS- VIRGINIA WOLF
when you
consider things
like the stars,
our affairs
don’t seem to
matter very
much, do they?
poem by – Virginia Wolf
