Like a foolish boy I once
went looking for danger,
Learning of tall tales
then seeking them for myself.

The gazette speaks of a melding
between two celestial bodies.
Don't gaze directly at it
no matter how sublime it may be.

I have met the protagonist before
if even through tinted shields.
A lifelong rapport, yet is
hitherto a subtle stranger.

I braved a look yesterday,
to examine all the fuss.
Touched by your spell
as your visage fills my eyes.

Now when I blink I spot you
staring back with blue flame.
A face etched into the cave of
my sockets - your new home.

Forecast arrives, moon meets sun
as my anxiety sweats in my hand.
I don no lenses, for you are the
enticing stranger which I cannot fear.
