The Celestial Tryst

eat the sun, eat her whole - the most powerful force in our universe, healer and destroyer - encircle her and blind her with your body - eager she was, as your paths crossed

cover her brightness, her warmth - the very essence of her impact on us lowly beings - covet her for but a fleeting moment - as she is bound to you

leave just a trace, a rough sketched outline of her inflamed majesty - shadow her in your might - little by little, devour her whole - as she longs for your shadow over her

in darkness we trust, the light will return - in the darkness we are assured of the light - in darkness you rule, your delight increasing her desire to break free from your hold

part ways, as equals, celestial bodies of grace and power, bid her adieu - as she gave you what you desire - petered out, she never was, though you tried

savour every second you spent together - like passing ships or star-crossed lovers divided and conquered by happenstance and reality - stare into her bright never-ending beauty - strength, radiance and resilience her gifts

ease yourself away after your tryst, as she, the burning eye of heaven, reclaims self

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: This is actually the sum of several different acrostics I wrote for this challenge, that I felt worked better together to create a longer piece! Sometimes...just sometimes I think "I can write poetry" this is one of those times. I also liked the imagery of the sun being devoured by the moon like pacman eating a ghost. I might even record this. MIGHT.

Anyway, here are some other pieces, that may or may not be as good or bad. It's all relative and subjective, right?
