Moon in Aries

Passions flare

She seeks to fill the needs

Of her indomitable will

They ignite in rapture

Scorching her mind

Uncontainable

Effeminate fire 

She fails to quell the flames

Of her turbulent heart

They burn in ecstasy

Searing her soul

Uncontrollable 

Desires appease

She attempts to cool the ardor 

Of her rapacious impulses

They simmer in reticence 

Sustaining her composure

Unpredictable

Emotions dissipate

She resolves to soothe her Self

Of her poignant maladies 

They smolder in abeyance

Pacifying her pride

Undeniable
