Unrequited Love

fusion

all life

at it’s core

comes from the sun

that solar furnace

the one place

in the universe

where the quantum and gravity

play nice

mass becomes energy

and energy becomes light

and absolutely everything

ignites

 

you said you

wanted to be seen

had so much warmth to give

the universe's a

cold and empty place

but you my child

are like the sun

where being becomes

light

and two become

one

the eclipse

I’ve been worshiping

your light

since the beginning of days

without you

I am blind

rosy fingered dawn

present on every page

of the great epics

yet never have you

been granted a

cult of your own

the intensity of your brightness

prohibits mortal eyes

to gaize upon you fully

 

enter the

eclipse a

once in a

lifetime

chance

seconds

maybe minutes

your glory veiled

your lunar consort absorbing

the full force

of your glory

a chance

a mere mortal might

dare to look

upon the whole of

your face

 

I understand now

the queen of heaven needs

her dying and rising god

to shield mortals from your

solar fate

my eyes finally open

I see you now, I

ready to go blind

I wait for you

let there be light
