you idolise me today but soon enough you'll grow tired of kneeling
i
the empire of temptation
defied gravity
planets aligned
strung by locks of burgundy
asteroids plunged from her shoulders
pleiades eyes
shot like comets through defences
the core of my force field agape
holes spluttered butterflies
spawned from cosmic clouds
ii
i lay beneath her
transfixed by the depth of majesty
her galactic reign over night
i did not fall
i did not grow weary till daybreak
shielded by the blood of dawn
we faded into light and dreamt of taurus
gravity could not stop
the empire of temptation

Gravity is so overrated? So is space... but for some reason I keep writing about galactic love. Thanks heaps for dropping by, David.

Sounds like you fell into the universe and she honoured your presence and took you through an outer body experience. Her majesty sure to bring one to their knees.
Absolutely love this cosmic feast, definitely would take me out of body if I lay under the stars and listened for a while. :)

Hmmm... I guess there are parallels between attraction and being sucked into a blackhole... but this isn't a love poem, it's not remotely erotic either, its pure space dust, pop rocks and popping candy stuff. Just an amazing feeling you get on your tongue. :P
Thanks heaps for your comment and RL, Magdalena. I always appreciate your thoughts and feedback.

My mind was definitely in the cosmos when reading this piece mister Case and "she, her" was referring to the Universe. Um, my mind was in the right place I will have know, haha. :P

I like ' asteroids plunged from her shoulders ' and the other creative lines and the topic of outer space in a poem....

I like the imagery of space and galaxies that are used throughout this. All of this very much a metaphor of creation and beginning. Very appropriate to be in the love category. The non-capitalisation is also interesting, suggesting that you are by no means the main focus of the poem despite writing it. I was also particularly enamoured by the way the last line is a reversal of the very first line. The title also a reflection of two halves of a story - a bipolarity of a title. Two halves, two sides, two stanzas, two stories... stop being good at this shit, Case. 😂
I read a meme earlier today that said "I either eat too much or starve myself. Sleep for 14 hours or have insomniac nights. Fall in love very hard or hate passionately. I don't know what grey is. I never did."
This poem doesn't know what grey is either. And thank God.
Excellent musings.

What's interesting is I've thoroughly enjoyed writing my last couple of poems... Ahh, did I just admit that?
Excellent musings... I'm just stoked I wrote 'empires of temptations!'
Thanks again for your awesome feedback, Missy, its always a great pleasure to read your onslaught of thoughts.

While the return to reality is inevitable....it seems as though the poet's moment of Goddess worshiping becomes a transcendence of (his) love....his attraction to her is unavoidable--at least for this one-night.....
Mo Chara...you transport us on a mystical journey into cosmic consciousness-- One that b o t h 'defines' , and defies, that which holds imaginations earth-bound....
A stellar scribe, Alexander !!

My dear Enchantress, thank you for your excellent interpretation of the poem. Sometimes I write these enigmas, they appear complete, like some mysterious beauty that emerges from a lake of corpses, and at first I have no idea who they are, but clearly I wrote the words, and as she walks towards me I stare into her eyes and slowly the meaning is revealed and I remember her name. Thank you.

you get burned when you ride a comet;
these affairs seem endless
yet usually end at dawn...

There are theories out there that a comet wiped out the dinosaurs... something so powerful must be one hell of a ride, even if one doesn't live to see the light of day.
