Se•le•no•tro•pism

I am jealous of the moon,
Jealous of the way
He kisses your skin
Under his pale light
Claiming you as its own.
You remain poised
And held in his gaze
Unconcerned with passing time
Lost somewhere deep in thought
Too far to reach.
Among shades of black
The grandeur that is you
Effortlessly glows
Among the twinkle of night.
Selflessly
Hopelessly
I wish upon you,
I wish upon you to turn away
Turn away from his embrace
And deny his touch
Denounce his rights
To be the reason you shine
And bid me the honor
Of a conversation once more.
Silly of me ignorant in my pride
Unable to understand
The moon chose you
To spread the light of the sun
As you walk among man.
