Ebony and Ivory

Lost amongst a trillion stars. In lustrous shades of Ebony and Ivory. We are like the moon craving for night fall, so our twin embers can ignite dark skies. Under the modesty of moonlight, desire illuminates in our eyes. We spark like supernovas in empyrean explosions, waltzing around the planets in a cosmic ballet. Penetrating pulses beat until glimpse of daylight, as zealous sun ascends like bonfires in our hearts - A celestial tapestry woven in timeless space.

I was hoping for a McCartney/Jackson video but alas, the poem will have to suffice. Hey, I love cosmic poetry!

Wow this is such an ethereal and cosmically moving write. I love the title too ebony and ivory and the celestial wordplay that truly depicts a soulful connection in such eloquence, i love especially the lines “ We spark like supernovas in cosmic explosions,“ exquisite! “ We are like the moon craving for night fall” very creative line! “ A celestial tapestry woven in timeless space.“ brilliant! A very mellifluous and heartfelt write i felt so deeply: i can never get tired of reading your poems.
