[MMLP]

keep your eye on the stars but your feet on the ground
We’d fight in the yards, competing in rounds.
Increasing our power my younger brother and me,
as heated encounters were brushed off with ease.
With the rub of the green we could rush to the posts.
Run through the trees, up a number of slopes.
Whilst crushing our foes as we gazed at the stars
into tunnels below, unafraid to embark.
My crush, playing the part of the damsel in distress,
once placed in my guard as the magical princess.
But the most basic of missteps had a snowball effect,
The kidnapping had incensed us to go forth, ahead!
The stonewalls were death traps, I wish he’d evade
The close calls were endless as we’d swing to escape.
Grounds spitting up flames the moment we’d rise,
wishing he take his time to get over them lines.
Spending most of our lives, go-karting with friends.
Rolling the dice hosting parties with guests,
my face calm and collected as I’d clear my throat.
To guard and protect him is what I feared the most.
I appeared controlled when he was learning to drive,
“here we go” he would chirp from his ride.
With a burst of excitement, he never seemed phased.
Preferring his privacy when he’d enter a race.
Going our separate ways for the good of the lands.
Every step he would take I would struggle to track.
I felt under attack, with him about on his own,
from awards I would dash to lookout for my bro!
Knowing scouting for trophies is what keeps me at bay,
being out in the cold wasn’t easy to take.
Eating away at me and ripping my soul.
Knowing Luigi’s in danger is what hits me the most.
And here he was,
Doing missions alone without troubles or stress,
with a grin of his own looking up to the impress.
And out comes a bundle of memories, in the garden playing.
My brother’s the best! He was the only star worth chasing..
