Why are you so cool, dark mistress?
Why live half your life in shadow,
Throwing off my light to an ungrateful companion?
You can be so much more than a pale beacon for the unworthy.

Do not reject my caresses,
Embrace them, and I promise they will
Slowly stir your dormant core,
Back to a long-forgotten fiery life.

Let my solar winds blow off your dusty shell,
Into a glorious trail of sparkling fairy dust,
Revealing your hidden, thinly-veiled, true self,
To a universe that will only then come to know true beauty.

Let my embrace melt the precious water at your poles,
That it may seep down to find the dormant seeds,
Of your once-verdant valleys and once more bring life,
In tenderest green shoots of hope to an awakening world.

You are not the cold, chaste Diana of legend thirsty for the hunt,
You are not a barren rock pounded throughout eons into dust,
You are not dead, but only sleeping, awaiting a primordial kiss,
From your true love who has loved you from afar for far too long.

Oh let me love you and thereby end your needless solitude,
We are forever bound by forces we cannot control and must obey,
But our hearts are our own and can beat as one, If you but let them,
Love, the strongest force in the universe, makes all things possible.
