My Gravity

Oh- Cast my eyes to the moon!
Could it be? You said...you loved me?
Unbelievable! Unsustainable! Uncontainable!
The words slip out seamlessly like silkworms...
could I hold them in the atmosphere a moment longer?
Clutching my hand at the wind, and they are gone...
Oh say my name, in so many ways,
repeat them, till I cannot breathe
because I kept my ears on just to hear your voice.
Maybe Vincent van Gogh was wiser.

Oh- Cast my eyes to the sea!
What is this swelling here, in my heart on the shore? A storm?
Look at the height of the waves! Could it be, my gravity?
Claiming to be my moon, without you I would be up-side-down.
The most frightening thing is...I tremble you may be right.
Our bodies should not yearn so with so many stars watching...
For I know Galileo Galilei was wiser.

Somewhere in history, an apple was bitten before it ever fell.
But whether it was before my heart's presence I can never tell.
For memory is ancient, but my love is a midnight pasture...
Ride with me on bare-back horses in the moonlight
Because I am bearing myself to you, my gravity
because without you, I would surely spin out of orbit!
Yes, Isaac Newton was much wiser.
