Devotion

Aliessa 11/28/02

What brings me to this ceaseless orbit
Making rings around your fierce immolation?
My sun in the heavens brightly shining...
I can not seem to break away,
Caught in the well of your attraction
In the glory of your gravity.
Nor would I want to succumb
To the centrifugal force of my fragile esteem,
The aimless wanderings of my tired mind,
My hapless bodies.
I turn to face you,
Sometimes reluctantly, pulled towards you and like to be the death of me,
I turn away, too engrossed in my rapturous devotion.
Never for long, I turn again to face you,
Starved for the warmth of your embrace.
