I hold sovereignty over two.

One believes in strength – it is the unaffected sun
        Whose radiance delivers unquestionable influence
across naïve voids,
Leaving them with suave birrs
While offering not a single embrace.
And these wisps of apathy coalesce into amygdalae,
        Submitting fear back to the licentious eye –
Such poison is the most beguiling comfort.

The other confides in repose – it is the soft moon,
        skulking just beyond the light's purview.
Ungoverned by the miserly,
        Its heart conceals all in heterotelism,
Painting detached episodes over an azoic canvas
        left to be emblazoned by the ravenous haze,
        Defining purpose with feigned transcendence.

Discord preserves what the sun and moon have yet to touch,
Unsheathing an Aesopian truth:
The two as one are inchoate,
        So I hold sovereignty over two.
This is my first poem in a while, and it's probably my most complex one up to this point...so I hope it doesn't confuse anyone too badly. Hopefully you enjoy as always!! :D
