Natural Attraction

20 million tons of TNT
couldn't disturb my baby and me
Like craters on the moon's surface
The scars on his back
Revealing his past
Pockmarks and indentations
fascinating  to astronauts on the moon
I too get that breathy sort of feeling
I too start to swoon
A sense of awe
A sense of wonder
Traveling at 40,000 miles per hour
My bliss is like thunder
Though it slammed into the earth 50,000 years ago
My attraction has come on quite slow
Displacing 175 million tons of rock
Your affection--
Has captured my heart
Standing on the rim of the crater
On the outside looking in
I'm weightless without gravity--
Contemplating a sin
