underline your absence,
leave a vapour trail of emotion
across a sky where stars, this day,
are hidden.
Love has been eclipsed
by a black moon,
and the chill of outer space
invades my universe.

This has impact. I feel it in the belly like the beat of a bass drum.
ReplyDeleteAwh, and yet they are glittering objects NOT destroyed by love gone nova!

That is impossible! :-) Either the dark universe is lighted up by the stars and the moon or the universe is hidden behind the skies. :-) God is not mysterious. :-)
