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."
