You Kiss the Sun, Promise the Moon

21,February,2021 by

Crooked steps just
a seconds glimpse behind.
Perfect trail before me,
each step toward a gift.

Then I caught sight
In the distance, at a cost
of something inside

I saw you kiss the lips
of the sinking Sun
locked in burning embrace

My steps faltered
O' how completely I struggled
that entire frozen moment

And O' how the next
and the next

Then the next I tasted
betrayal so profound

O' how my vivid light died
I relived the scene imprisoned
In place questioning my eyes

Defeated, wondering your motives
I cried, needing answers
I tried more and more

O' I dug deeply into this need
i closed the miles, closing
Such distance between us

Then it was much closer
I witnessed once the day was faded

Close I heard you whispering
Your gaze facing the twilight sky
Words my heart has never known

A little more my world fell dark
As you reached up
your hands upon the Moon's full face

Pulling her down from heaven,
to your promises as you smiled

You....
Kissing the sun,
Promising the moon,

As I watched
your growing shadow
a silouhette to follow

A chase of the impossible
Yet I can't give up
All i do is follow,

And look , and press on
just to get close enough

To tell you my reason
Because You are still my sun,
Though you have another

You are my setting moon,
my unobtainable,...
and my reasoning for every step,
every mile...

I give chase and myself completely
See how very far I would go
Have gone, did try

just to prove myself

worthy and for all this

I loved
My world.
