Chiaroscuro Waltz
A Commission Of Light & Shade
Enter the gray-haired myths
Chalked-up fear on yin & yang—
Lies? Not all obscures.
I and eye believe in love,
Potency shared; new info the kinfolk;
Stars die as bees after a sting
Embossing this tug-o-warrant!

Author's Note:
Most of my writings' tend to explore the psychological and historical realm, the deep halls and corridors of the human mind. This acrostic challenge/prompt inspired me to think about the roots of human perception in relation to an eclipse.
Thanks for reading! Feel free to leave a comment; subscription; coin. Let's beat our hearts together as poets of the ever-flowing Orb and outer layer at large; there's only one universe (maybe!), one song.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Such an intriguing poem! Each line has so much to say here -- I feel like I could go down a rabbit hole really diving into the meaning of each. I appreciate your author's note so much because it really puts perspective into your inspiration for this. I really love the play on words I've seen you use, such as "I and eye believe in love," -- stunning! I love pieces that make me think and you've really done this here. Wonderful work, Christian! 🤗❤️
"I and eye believe in love". Loved that line the most. Loved your Acrostic!
