Lunacy

I watch her spin

Layer of lover and liar

Earth, wind and fire

Such a destructive, beautiful garden

‘Tis me, admired and admirer

Pale rock, who maintains his distance

Space between

                    revolver and revolutionary

My scars on display,

illuminated by night

Pocked bombardment

                    of volatile adolescence

Frivolous competition for her favor

Jockey for position

Survival of the fittest;

Chaotic harmony

To the victor go the spoils:

Endless carousel

Now calm, serene, wiser

Observant orbiter curses set path,

the prize

All that is, and what could’ve been

Attempts to reach out, few

Small steps, and giant leaps

Capture the flag

                    and expediently expire

Leave your footprints

Cycle my phases

dance with my shadow

Last is first is last

I have no quarter

Our symbiotic relationship,

we damn these laws of attraction

Gravitational pool, Sea of Tranquility;

Treading in cosmic influence

I tug at her tide;

She paints me crimson

Our polar lives, too much to bear

We lean closely at the solstice

Gaia eclipsed my vision,

                    basks in my shade of red

Her game of Hearts:

She shot the Moon.
