Liquid Gravity
The ocean swells in an endless
Yearning, reaching for it’s love
Heavy in it’s own gravity bed
Liquid body stretches toward
A sky-separated sphere
An orb of silver passion
That in ancient times
Would bathe her lovely body
In his welcoming waters,
The nest of her nightly arc
Before the earth was made spherical.
Now, Selene dances circles
Endlessly falling slightly further away.
The Ocean swells, tidal
In a hopeless unrequited love
Holding on to old dreams
Remembering her in pearls
And the white horses of his
Raging waves.
