The Tale of Sun & Moon
The sun is shining in a clear blue sky
giving daylight and warmth to all nearby
Every evening it gets tired and sleepy
slowly backs down to give room for the creepy
A beautiful moon rises like a pearl in the dark
to guard the dreams of the trees in the park
They keep on taking shifts and rarely meet
but there's a different story, and you're in for a treat
Once the sun was only a boy
in his eyes was the glow of joy
A new day a new play a new act
no thing too scary when nothing he lacked
Everyone he knew was as thrilled as him
to be full of energy and life to the brim
One day the boy with eyes filled with sun
saw a somewhat different kind of fun
There in the shadows a heart full with moon
sat a pearl causing the boy to swoon.
Her hair glimmering with cold light
her smile peculiar like a bright night
Never had the warm rays in his eyes
shone upon something ever so pure from lies
He daringly asked her to with him dine
and then boldly requested "be mine"
He was a sun and she was the moon
And forever couldn't come too soon
Everyday new things to discover
The many nuances of their lover
Time passed and the boy saw her smile
The never-changing force of his exile
For a while that calm smile had him taken
But for no laughter could her smile be shaken
A much livelier girl the boy sought
and made her cry silver tears in deep thought
A daughter of the sun would rather be
a much better girl for you than me
I will forever be too shy to brightly shine
And here left in the shadows I'll be fine
Instead let a ray of your light
Cast a shimmer into my night
Thru the light of your eyes
I can glimmer steady and wise
A heart like hers bound to the moon
Could never sing such a sunny tune
His demands could not be met
Only gloom was to be caught in his net
His mistake he saw and had to choose
her love, the one too precious to lose
Quietly illuminating a sky so dark
The silence her crown and unique is her mark
Forgive me my precious for now I can see
you could never become a sun like me
I see, you only wanted me to learn
Yet what you gave to me was a burn
I belong in the night and you in the day
I'm sorry but it'll be better that way
From afar let your rays shine
Upon me and this dark kingdom of mine
A beautiful moon rises like a pearl in the deep
to guard the dreams of those who sleep.
The sun keeps shining everyday so bright
But within secretly hides his inner fight
The two will only briefly meet
By dusk and dawn forever on repeat..
