Latent Conquest

Puzzled are my oceans

As to how Phobos fills them like cold rains

While submerged in your galaxies'

Wine well-stored among memories.

They are weary troubled how,

Daunted to even gaze at them now.

For doubt sprung from fragments

Of galaxies' reined luster, now torments.

On what their distant lights state

I faithfully patterned my fate,

As if what to happen they have said,

But why do they seem misread.

Does a thousand light years it take

To reach me and have me awake?

Is it just the supernova of the past

That still holds my trust?

For what really lies there unknown

Are blackholes of stars too late shone.

Ascribing me to circling swarm-

Sapping sanity to my harm.

Tell me you are no blackhole

For I'm no barren ocean you'll fall.

We are both lost in tidal capture

But groping to gain rapture.

I know my oceans set you adrift

But forbid you any dip.

Well, I'm afloat in your galaxies

That don't elevate queries.

Prostrate me by resonant shining,

Break latent conquest we're in.

You'll see their reflected glitter

As I submit to your luster.
