Colliding Fates Poem by Mark Heathcote

Girl, what stands you naked by my side?
All smiles, but with a raging tide
A drowning man I am forlorn.
But buoyed heavenly, I do not mourn.
I hold twin stars in my room.
And aim for the calmness of the moon.

Before the sea and my world are sent spinning,
A languid kiss is all I'm pinning, asking
A kiss so pressing I am but yours to take
And after, I'll be as soothed as a windless lake.
Colliding fates have sent us circling and whirling.
The black hole of love is now my calling.
