Temptation
The moon is an envious thing
In a gulf of darkness
Cold
Dry
It circles the earth and ocean like a shark
It sees the beauty of the two
Jealous of the green and the blue
It shows its lighter side to them
Smiles to their face, but hides a darker half
It wants the ocean
Admires her
Desires her
Every night
Reflections
It can see itself in her
A thirsty thing
He would pull her off
And make her his in the vastness of space
She feels the attraction too
A force tugging at her molecules
An inclination that pulls her
But while being drawn she stops and says,
"I would come to you.
I would.
But I already belong to another."
