Sun and Moon in 120 Syllables

by Uriel Tovar

Hatred can be such a comforting sentiment;
From the way my blood boils when I see you pass
Down to the fact that I can’t get you out of my
Still pounding head in the moments before twilight
Becomes daylight. But, still, I continue this dance
Waning to your powerful eclipse, knowing I
Should be leading, impoverished by side steps, losing
My grip on how I truly feel, falling in love
With that perfection that is so far away yet
Is pulled in by the embrace of my gravity.

I started counting all the syllables, but then got so caught up on the metaphysical beauty of this piece, dark as it may be, the amount didn't matter any more.
