You are my black hole,
the gravitational pull is excruciating,
my discovery is alarming,
a sinking realization
that I can not escape.
Love as fright,
love as all consuming blackness,
love, a bottomless pit,
unknown dark,
a teetering tipping
on the edge of my oblivion.
All within me scrambles back to no avail,
my heart like sand caving to the tide,
You have consumed me unawares,
and the roar of my powerlessness
is drowned in the crash
of your unattentive coming and going.
The heart of Monoceros
is a diminishing void
the unicorns lie,
that which you thought you caught,
has caught you,
impaled on the great horn
of union’s dilemma.
A lover’s horror,
Andromeda’s beauty,
my chains,
my demise,
is there a still a son of Zeus
able to break Poseidon’s chains?
