A Rare Combination

By Vusi Moloi © 2011

Hot pink like gentle fire
Decked as if to inspire
To make the heart warm
To adorn a beautiful form
To be forever heartwarming
Even though unseen before
The physique like a golden sun
Is pleasing to the eye
But blinding to behold
Despite trying to be bold
The restraint of the syntactic
Solidifies like emphatic

To induce beauty like refrain
To blend beauty and brain
A flawless curvature is galore
Must resist to avoid disfigurement
For now to embrace curtailment
Devoid of self-interest that sticks like glue
To obey the gravitational pull
To resist like the great Sitting Bull
In his tribute to the Great Spirit
To observe perils of disfigurement
While approaching the pearls by the water
Even though the water will engulf

Contextual Commentary

When the moon glowed like a red ball, it was unfeasible to resist the gentle attraction of the gravitational pull. She commanded like a majestic globe while rising soothingly above the horizon. The surface was like texture mapped to highlight the glow that inspired a sense of a worshipful approach. It was appealing to advance to the moon’s surface for purposes of exploring and admiring the lunar morphology but the anxious feeling of gravitating towards the galactic core was prohibitive. To admire the moon by the sea is death defying because her gravitational pull equally amplifies the amplitude of the rolling waves in whose body of water the admirer will be contained. Is it possible and commendable to traverse the waterways of the moon?
