Helios - The Sun

Your bold, shining eminence,
Bows my head,
Portals of recognition slam shut,
But slivers of your aroma,
Permeate tissues of consciousness,
So impossible to ignore.
I make painful supplications,
As you inexorably ravage,
The landscape of my soul.
Yet the course of years,
Reduces your lustrous mien,
Our black holes will intersect.
As the trajectories of courses collide.
At an unmarked way station,
On the orbit of time.
