Lore of your Galaxies

Those twin galaxies of yours

Beckoned on my sister oceans'shores.

I swam away, I heard the lore,

'A furtive glance will ask for more.'

 

I hid beneath these bitter waters

heaven graciously showers,

And sank to their esoteric depth-

My treasured detaching step.

 

But these shrouds are latent webs,

Impalpable yet enthralling herbs,

That compelled those galaxies

Towards my oceans'caged reveries.

 

Astral lights came flowing

On my secret crevices - cosmic cunning.

On faint surrender, oceans reflected

Those lights thought connected.

 

But you feared degrees unknown,

Ceased the sailing, you will never own-

They you thought mastered the song of lorelei,

The depths you will die.

 

Was it that shed leering glimmer

From distant galaxies hover

Around the interval that mist covers

And stirring these waters?

 

My immensity is foreboding,

Your vastness is deceiving.

Would our core surface, if in mist

You linger and I in abyss?

 

You intoxicate me with cosmic light nothing can sober,

But refuse to drink from my oceans' water.

Your galaxies shine on infinity

But are not my property.

 

You are locked on a cache, no one could immerse,

Owned by some private universe.

The lore of your galaxies, a blurred maze,

An immortal quest to my gaze.
