SELENE
The moon was now merely a crescent
Resuming its full face, phase by phase
A slow process, however hard it tried
But then suddenly appeared in full view
A beautiful brunette, as if right on cue
As an image projected on my unlit side
An unexpected delight in so many ways
It began to wonder if this was a present
Her upturned face, with eyelids closed
Pouting lips seem to reach for his own
This was a big surprise to say the least
Yet it remained only in two dimensions
Perhaps triggering some new intentions
It was as if all due sunlight had ceased
And out here in orbit, no longer alone
Yet it was only a fantasy, he supposed
But the laws of the universe prevailed
Both saw the sun and continued round
The image of her that had cast its spell
Began to fade, none knowing her name
After this, nothing would be the same
Perhaps a mere dream, who could tell
Yet it was something new he’d found
Hoping next time she appears unveiled
