And I saw you taking pictures
of the stars, your form a black hole
against a speckled evening sky
my heart drawn, helplessly, into it.
How could I pass beyond
a boundary so strong that my being
must be torn asunder in admiration?
For there you were, and still are
a force toward which I am pulled
forever giving myself to you
just on the edge of the event horizon.
