You Walked Away

You walked away,
And I stared after you.
I realized then
The thing that I must do.

But frozen still,
My mind refused to move.
I tried to speak
But lost the words I knew.

You wrenched my gut
And made my heart turn blue.
I felt the fear:
The chance that I would lose.

But then I watched,
Amazed as you returned.
And dazed I felt
The place where your kiss burned

Eclipse

The earth along its course

Divides the constant light;

Ne’er Sun nor moon can force

Their fulgence through the night.

 

Yet as the sun and moon

By fate are torn apart,

Together they are hewn

And each reveals its heart.

 

The sight of blood on high,

Is beauty made of grief;

An emblem in the sky

Of what you are to me.

 

For though the moon and sun

Are riven to the core,

And sundered one from one,

A beauty forms once more.

 

We watch the moon turn red,

A rose encased above,

The stars a diamond bed,

Beneath the sign of love.
