The Sun and the Moon
are loves who rarely meet, always chase,
and almost always miss one another,
but once in awhile,
they do catch up and they kiss
and
the world stares in awe
of their eclipse.
He was the day,
she was the night. He lived
for misty mornings, she lived for crazy
midnight's. He was the Sun, she
was the Moon, yet both waited impatiently
for those rare days they might
exist peacefully.
She wants a man who
understands her eyes. If she gets sad,
she points to her chest and
says, "here is your home."
He understands.
But perhaps the very
fact the Moon could never have
the Sun was the reason
that she loved
him so.
