Three Bodies | B O A N R VII

Three Bodies | B O A N R VII

I lay dormant and sleepless, adrift

The Astral tides, awash my listless form, a satellite

Locked into the silver pulls, of each cresting wave

In every which direction, until

Fastened upon me, the aureate filament,

Of Pure Light - and with such Gravity

I fell, or was pulled,

Or swam,

Towards a system with two Suns.

Slowly, then all at once

I fell in

Like a comet, towards the solar nexus

Whereupon they floated,

Two Heavenly Bodies, 
Celestials wreathed in Light, their Forms and Incandescences

Wholly Distinct, Set Apart, yet their Essences

Both Infinitely Beautiful,

Both Transcendentally Imperfect,

Both Fanning the Blaze of My Soul

With their Sensual Fires,

A Kiss that Restores and Hungers

A Touch that Heals and Craves

Ah, the Divine Synchronicity

I bask in dual illumination,

I see, with Eyes now resplendent

My own form, transformed

No longer a Rogue Planet

Condemned steadfastly to Isolation

My Penance: Not to Suffer, But

To Love, And My Blessing:

To Be Loved in Return

Now Become We,

A Stable Three Body.
