Lunar

I love you, as the ocean loves the moon.

Tireless, natural as the tide,

This endless pursuit.

Our ephemeral twilight closeness.

The briefest kiss before I watch you soar,

Reflecting your distant beauty a thousand times,

In mirror shards that hypnotise the stars.

Descent from your cathedral in the sky.

Shed your skin, swim with me for a night.

Immerse yourself in my devotion.

Love me, as the moon loves the ocean.

~ Chloe Gorman
