Poem: Atria

Southern Constellations. Screen capture taken from Stellarium.

Atria

Antique ardent appearance
Crimson waltz silvery hues
Competing among others
As you blush spikes
They too daggers and needles
Murder my eyes
But animate my heart

Rising above the sea
When our Cross descends
And Pointers follow pursuit
Bashful as you may be
Even with your Triad
But your name lingers
In charts on my mind

October's Hero
Snaps our throats
With Claws commanded
By a Heart harsher than yours
But what you have
Is that glare so singular
Never undone in your sphere

I intently gaze at you
Rusty glow breathtaking
Shinning Southern Beauty
That crucifies Mimosa
And drowns Canopus
Because you are stunning
Ancient, ambivalent, mine

On the subject of the poem itself:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Trianguli_Australis

      Atria is a star in the southern sky. It is best observed in the Southern Hemisphere. Its name is contracted from the term Triangulum Australe. Atria also alludes to the Atrium, a part of the heart.

     The Philippines, being near the equator, sees most of the stars visible on both hemispheres. Atria is not a spectacularly bright star. It is hard to spot as it is positioned near the horizon (in the Philippines) and is seasonal. It is found in an area of the sky where most of the prominent stars "pass through". Bordered by the prominent Southern Cross and Alpha and Beta Centauri, 

I think you would not care to notice the red spec that is Atria. Somehow, I was captivated by it.
