Eclipse

 Eclipse 

A sacred union of Sun and Moon’s desire 

I emerged, a creature with celestial fire 

With wings of dawn and curls ablaze,

Pale skin of night in lunar phase.

A fiery heart, the universe could ignite,

A crucifix of flames, a sacred rite.

Stars reflected in my eyes of steel

Embers wield power to burn or heal 

Chaos birthed stars, shrouding in night's cloak 

Yet my flames alone the world evoke 

Eternal path, the clock's rightful turn,

Amidst the dark, my light shall burn.

The prophecy foretold, my tumultuous birth 

The cosmos gift to the lonely Earth 

Accursed gods feared my sovereign might,

Thus, darkness claimed me in eternal night 

Eclipse, my birth in shadows forever cast,

As the moon's embrace sealed my fate at last.
