My Cereus and Moon

I.

The moon sings the languid flower,

  to bloom at midnight hour

Harmonious feast transpires -

  luminescent choir

 

Petals mirror la hue de Luna,

  but pale below her glow

Though the desert sweet aroma,

  is fragrance plus photo

 

Neither causing nightly failure,

  in idyllic charm

In fact, those powers are greater,

  together than apart

 

II.

The moon a long gone distant rock,

  yet pulls on ocean tops

Cereus lures with sweetest tricks,

  and stings with countless licks  

 

Battered holy asteroid face,

 woos flawless solar gaze

And even though it causes mire,

  lunar eclipses fire

 

The cactus thrives in driest sands,

  and chokes in fertile lands

Alluring lonesome wanderers,

  promising mere water

 

The lucid beauty bewilders,

  as much as it can haunt

In fact, those powers are greater,

  together than apart

 

III.

You, once my cereus and moon,

  were drowned in my love well

Perhaps, I was this to you too,

  though your hole I’d not delve

 

However, what was first velvet,

  morphed into devil’s horns

Winter shed those thorns in my chest,

  now spring gifts hope and more

 

The icy grips of each winter,

  provides spring fuel to spark

In fact, those powers are greater,

  together than apart

 

IV.

Although we've gone on our own ways,

  I wouldn’t change the past

For each step was necessary,

  to find true love at last

 

We were once greater together.

 

 

I’m now greater apart.
