We are a binary star, you and I.
You feel it, don’t you, how gravity binds
us, flows us around each other? We fly
in our stable orbits apart, yet find
a common center, core deep and burning,
causing our fusion, our vast gaze so fierce
we ignite in rare chemistry: yearning
and inspiration guiding us to pierce
heaven’s soul as only artists will dare.
Scientists say we blaze for centuries.
What say you, muse and friend? Shall we take care
and continue our binary journey
over multiple lives? Shall we hold dear
and honor how we found each other here?
