Galactic Love

there once was a time

when our orbits aligned

and I couldn’t help but bask
in your gravity 

as you glided by me

I was naturally attracted

I passed your atmosphere

almost near enough to extract it

grabbing at your mass
with my magnetic wind

trying to absorb it

as we pass my force yearns 

to pull you from your orbit

but of course

your momentum resists

but the reactions in our clouds admit

a tension exists between us 

if we could pull each other in

and make each other spin

just the right way
in a cosmic ballet

I could take you as my moon

on that last pass

I swooned through 

just out of reach

but close enough to feel your pull 

on my trajectory

shifting my inclination

what a celestial sensation

the relation of our

heavenly bodies

coming close to each other

brings 

since that time

we passed by

I tend to find

my space is full of nothing

each minute feels like eternity

as I anticipate the moment we

swing around the same sector

of the galaxy again
