You live on the dark side of the moon,
where no light can warm your heart,
too remote to reach,
too cold to touch.
I live on the volatile side of the sun,
where nothing can survive my fire,
too close to release,
too warm to hold.
We fuck in an endless orbit,
running circles round our souls,
no way to embrace,
no way to break away.
And we love like the universe expanding,
doomed to collapse one day
among the ashes of our passion
or the splinters of our dreams.
This is really superb.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
WHAT?!?
The @%#$ is that below me?
A poetic mind from the shadows so deep?
Ugh you leave me with little shavings!
Ashes and splinters?
Tell me!
Tell me!!
Sing me an encore!!

Wow! This is awesome! I can see a bit of SSmoothie influence if I am not mistaken? It is what drew me to this poem. SSmoothie has quite a few poems on moons and suns and orbits etc, but even if it isnt influenced, it is still a fantastic write!!! Bravo!!! I love that line "We fuck in an endless orbit too!" Great work! MS
