Unrequited Love: A Fifth House Tale

I see your Ascendant

Progress

And kiss your Venus

 

And quietly shed

Soul tears

Because it’s not me.

 

And I still feel the pain

Writ large in our composite

Of wanting you like that

At the deep basic level of Taurus in the fifth

With Chiron tears on the South Node.

 

And I see myself flunking

The North Node test

With Uranus conjunct it in the eleventh.

 

I stand here, with Neptune and Chiron

Fogging my Venus with rainbows of pain

With Pluto trining her

And flogging her with desire.

 

So I stand here, humbled

And think I’ll retreat into my twelfth

Write some bad prose-tree

And engage my third eye with mirror gazing

While the night wraps you in its arms

Of music and swinging desire

And you make the most of your transits

In the fifth.
