Affairs of the cosmos; an intimate theft
Dedicated to the upcoming solar eclipse on 12 August, 2026
Furnace of gold is he
The moon, she
Shadowy silhouettes
They gaze at each other
They are still so far
Away
Trajectories never permitted to touch
Except for this single stolen hour
Her luminous body slowly pressing against his blinding heat
A celestial embrace
A collision of desire
Late-afternoon of delight-
Full vibrant resinous amber hues
Alchemy of sharing secrets in the darkness
eARTh shivers
two celestial deities lose themselves in one another
suspended above the sea,
their union peaks
mortals look closely
she is a halo of pure white fire
a lifetime of waiting releases
sun and moon alchemize into unified twilight
cosmic law, though, dictates
their union cannot last
all mankind should heave a collective grateful sigh of relief
she makes the first move
her dark form sliding away
from his golden warmth
a broken embrace
a horizon bruises
crushed violets and crimson rose petals scatter
across the skyline
the sun, alone, sinks into the Atlantic
sulking
aching
the touch of his fleeting lover
he carries within his rays
the moon?
Again, she slips between eARTh and her lover
Only to move on
To separate again `
She
A phantom receding into the void
He
Will burn through a thousand lonely dawns
Seeking out her silhouette on the tide
Until they again find their rhythm
Another cycle of stolen theft...
