death of a rock

The sun and the moon

Were once lovers you see

The sun loved the moon

 

As she had a very apt spot

She saw him quite often

Except on rare occasion

 

When a rock of unknown inhabitats

Intercepted the sun and moon

She could no longer see her love

 

She wept in those times

When she could not catch a glimpse

Of her one true love

 

The sun would rejoice

When she could spot her love again

The moon back within her sights

 

Years passed, this continued

The sun would see her moon

She would admire him from afar

 

One day the sun awoke

A cataclysmic event

Had passed during her slumber

 

Her love, the moon

Had come closer to her!

She rejoiced aloud, flares flying

 

The sun's love was nearer

She could finally speak

To her love, the moon

 

But the sun soon discovered

A terrible ordeal was about

The moon did not speak back

 

Did this event cause his death?

Wondered the sun, of her love

But she did not understand

 

The truth in it all

The moon is a rock

The sun did not know

 

She wept and suddenly

she burned so much brighter

that she imploded

 

In her sorrow and emotion

she destroyed the whole system

She engulfed and fell

 

This star of the poem,

the star of our earth

had killed us in her grief

Decided to try something new, not sure how confident I feel about this one.
