Asteroid of Love

[rmorgan]

Like an asteroid
Appearing unexpected in the sky
You collided with my surface, drilled inside.

Arriving with incalculable speed
Out of the void, you shattered the firm crust
Of long-evolved assumptions, cast them wide

Like impelled missiles
Like white hot shooting stars
My feelings sped beyond the curvature

Of the horizon lines
Traced the outer reaches of my mind
Laid bare distant perceptions, unseen shores.

Descending from on high
With fiery tail and steady burning eye
You touched and petrified my earthly core.

So close now, you and I
By time embraced, embedded, unified
Together in the unexpected sky.

Destruction and new light?
With fallout bright, your star transforms
All that was life, that lived in me before.

[fishfishquaileye]

Like an haemorrhoid
Appearing unexpected in my pie
You collided with my surly face, drilled inside.

I'm sorry, Ruthie. After I read your opening stanza I just couldn't carry on.
