Tidal Locking

Tidal locking
Like waxing and waning
of moon, his love shuddered,
The tidal locking
that hampered my zing,
Effulgent life lost
in darker side of silvery moon.
In its brightness
drowned my shimmer,
Then it abated into a sickle
to slice my pride,
Forlorn, I chose to live by
the dark side of the moon.
Consumed by its force,
deep on this side of earth
where peace calls my name
I lean and stay,
over the reflection of waves
on the dark side of the moon
The horizon rips my heart
two bodies weaken
by its physical use,
and tidal locking
Welcoming and affecting everything
On the dark side of the moon

I am Thankful to Linda for contributing last two stanzas that have made it amazingly meaningful and beautiful.
~ A poet destroyer collaboration~
Tidal locking- tidal forces from Earth slow down rotation of moon and the same side faces the earth. The other side, the darker side always remains dark.
