Poems
Jan 3
Shadowing the Shine
He was bleak and dark
But benevolent and special
She greeted and made a spark
Bringing light for him to nestle
She warmed his life
And he cooled hers
There was never a strife
Thought forever occurs
He promised stars
But smoke veiled her rays.
She felt behind bars
As he went back to his alone ways
Now she rises, he descends,
Loving but couldn't together be in it
This is how the world tends
So neither one can admit
That she still burns, and he still wanes
But neither look the other way
Even when one rains
They are stained far away
This poem uses the symbolism of the sun and moon resembling a relationship that has failed due to smoking, and the relationship remains separated.
