Selene

By Polaris

Helios retires and you seize the sky
Ebbing tides of phosphorescence
I gaze unto you catatonic
Entrapped by your luminescence

As you descend and gaze upon me
I shudder in your presence
Your calming touch dissolves my fears
As we commence our coalescence

Well done P. and truly captivating in it's acutely accurate brevity (says a lot with little). Oh, and perhaps "catatonic" maybe? Not sure...Thanks !
