On the Farside
Story by charles_they on SoFurry
Lunar cycles! People cycles! Extended and convoluted similes!
On The Farside
Below skies unknown
Two stargazing beasts prowling—
We meet at sunset.
New moon bashful like young cubs
Caught laughing in a dark room.
Drawn in, orbiting,
Wanderers lost together,
Spinning fast in place.
Our candle burns in reverse;
Wax poured into darkened skies.
Like a telescope
Your voice drowns out cosmic noise
Drawing lines 'twixt stars:
Moonlight illuminates all
Paths ahead seem infinite.
The stars are scattered
When we become thunderclouds
The heavens tremble
And bright moon scurries away
Showing only her farside.
