Sun Versus Moon

A poem about forbidden love

You orbit the sun
I orbit the moon
Our future decided
The day we were born
It’s written in the stars
And written in the tides
No straying from the paths
Gravity decides
~
Yours is the sun
Mine is the moon
Two lives on the run
Will be over too soon
Our paths must never cross
Opposing forces never meet
Avoidance of disaster
Is the peace we must keep.
~
Rainbows surround you
And I have the stars
From the beginning
We knew how it was
These treasures complete us
Make us who we are
We must not betray them
Never shatter their hearts
~
I hide from the sun
You hide from the moon
Transient skies
Guiding dusk through to dawn.
With destiny’s causeway
Imprinted in sand
The time for acceptance
Is almost at hand.
~
The sun is of fire
The moon is of ice
A conflict of elements
paying the price
Dousing your flames
Or thawing my heart
Would be catastrophic
So now we must part.
