To the moon and back
Can desire overthrow destiny?
She drapes her outstretched arms.
Blanketed with an icy warmth.
Silver streams of light shine
over the crystallised world.
~
Her magnificent stature
fills the eyes of on-lookers.
She rises with a great power
to guide throughout the night.
~
Thriving through the nocturnal sky.
She fills her heart with
a precious love that can
only last seconds before the eternal pain engulfs her.
~
Only stars to comfort her
she wallows in her own loneliness and grief
Neglected of what she desires
she finds comfort in the darkness.
~
Darkness plagues the light.
And each night she is the only bright star to smile
as the dark path she is on
oddly satisfies her desired cravings.
~
They never cross paths.
Never speak a word to each other.
Alas, all they have is a few seconds before they
disappears to their rightful positions in the never-ending sky.
~
So, to the moon and back
The great ball of fire will not reach
And the sensitive crystallised ball
will stay on its course through the cycle it is meant to be on.
~
And together they will never touch each other’s auras.
Nevertheless, they are satisfied
with the comfort of seeing each other twice each day.
And their cravings will lessen, and they will be in a state of consolation for eternity.
