My Own Poem by Michael Silver
My Own
O Sun, how gloriously bright you are
Bringer of life and light
How you caress the Earth with your gentle gifts
How you and your lover circle around each other in eternal dance
O foolish me
I being Pluto
Who, with just a glance
Got caught by your single innocent look
I who was enchanted by your beauty
Was forever caught in the ring of futility
I who now push and dodge just to be near you
Yet I am still left in the back
Forsaken of just a single ray
I stand in the cold and dark
Looking ever forward at that single star which is your smile
O if only I had just turned away
If only I had just kept going
If only I had looked for a true star
A star I could make as my own
One that I could share my loving embrace with
O if only I were not foolish
To be enchanted with a star that was already taken
To stand far off
And dream of lies
