You kiss the sun, promise the moon

crooked steps just a seconds glimpse behind perfect trail before me, each step a gift Then in the distance I  caught sight of something I saw you kiss the lips of the sinking Sun locked embrace and O' how completely I struggled that entire night and O' how the next and the next and then the  next I tasted betrayal O' how vivid I I relived the scene in visions, questioning my eyes, wondering your motives I focused, I tried more and more O' I dug deep, i closed the miles,, then much closer I witnessed then, you whispering to the sky then you reached up your hands upon the full moon's face Pulling her down from heaven,  to your promises as you smiled to deny us, O' I obsessed You.... Kissing the sun, Promising the moon, As I watched O' I glared O' as did I wilt I withdraw to obscurity Beneath cover of your growing shadow a silouhette to follow making chase of the impossible I can't give up all i do is follow, and look , and press on , just to get close enough To tell you You are still my sun, Though you have another and you are my setting moon, my unobtainable,... and my reasoning for every step, every mile...   Now besought by the breadth The severity of those betrayals I hope you knew, i followed and still do coming to apprehend my little tease, my treasure, my liar I give chase, to how completely how very far I would go just to prove once and for all I love you. I shall, one day... If and when the stars let me they decide... Even they see plainly my envy As I have no mask One motive, Several unknown labels. I contrast the brilliant Silk strewn beauty once mine Falling once, am I choosing Leg by foot, by will and love Outshine the sun and by this Luna will turn it's attention Perhaps this test of time Practiced, lonesome patience May one day return the gaze Embrace in arms my desire The only one I want and follow My world.
