Discovering the femininity of the world

The world must be a female:
Chatty woman at her ease
Shrewd seer at silent dawns
Playful lover at pungent nights
Shrieking violin string at her pain
Oblivious lucid girl waiting for her Master
To get her completed - all in one.

Planets

I will not enter your domain
Or pass delineated borders,
Will leave with you what you may gain
From changing entropy's disorder.

No stirring in your quiet glades,
No furtive look behind the curtains,
No shiver in remissive hands,
No luring smiles and no burdens.

Innocuous touch of our shades
Will not distort your gliding passage,
A feeble collision, a parade,
Endowed with the heaven's message.

We're starting off to make our ways
Entrapped in whirls of other comets,
To fully seize the nights and days
Without questions, qualms and comments.

We'll learn again to walk the earth,
The alien guests at cosmic weddings,
Explore the skies we never crossed,
Reshape ourselves to match the settings.
