the sun rises

The warming embrace of the sun’s golden rays

Sends freezing shudders now that he is away.

Each morning, he lit up my naïve world

All of his scarlet flags were so neatly furled.

The glow of his face masked the hue of his shade

Every flicker of hope, he deceitfully played.

Cloudy days felt better, even with his misguided rain

‘Cause I could say I had someone, to disguise all my pain.

the sun sets

But then the evening settles and his “love” fades

In his fleeting ambers, I realize I’ve been betrayed.

The ombre of what we had stabs me slowly like a knife

You wanted me for the day; I wanted you for life.

the moon rises

A crescent-shaped glimmer of hope catches my russet eye

Her sparkling smile glistens from the raven-black sky.

A silver full moon– shiny, open, and new

This is a first for me; I don’t know what to do.

I step towards her, leaping towards my future

Something about her graceful charm allows her

To allure me into the mystery of the dark

Melting my cold heart with a dazzling spark

the moon stays

With time, I have grown accustomed to the night.

Her stunning twinkle next to mine– the usual sight.

I feared I would never again find the love of day.

But in that I find peace; with the moon I shall stay.
