I. The Divine Divide
He rules the sky with golden flame,
She wears the night - his borrowed name.
One breath apart, forever true,
The dawn's strict law their love renews.
II. The Cratered Heart
Her darkened pole - where meteors fell -
A wound no tide could ever quell.
Yet in that scar, his fire dwells:
A molten psalm no crater tells.
III. The Sacred Exchange
His light would burn her silver skin,
Her tears would drown his fire within.
So fate decreed this strange delight:
She wears his burns, he fuels her night.
IV. The Unbroken Vow
No union. No touch. No shared embrace.
Only this cosmic paradox of grace:
"While Time still breathes, we two shall keep
One law - to love the dark and deep,
Your craters hold my noonday fire,
My dusk inherits your desire."
V. The Mortal Lesson
O fragile hearts who weep to own,
Learn from these lovers carved in stone -
True passion thrives in hallowed scars,
And brightest burns through prison bars.
VI. The Eternal Witness
Behold their testament above:
Not flesh - but light.
Not grasp - but love.
Not wounds - but proof.
Not near - but truth.

- Comment from author about the poem: This is a love story between the Sun (day) and the Moon (night). They love each other deeply, but can never be together—because when one rises, the other must set.

A cosmic Romeo and Juliet set in such great poetic style and verse. There is a cyclical feel to the meter that resembles the orbiting of the bodies. Mythical in its proportions this story has so many great lines that reflect reality as the moon reflects the sun's light. This truly is a poem of epic proportions and deserves a wide viewing. Loved it and a fave
A wonderful write so cleverly thought out,and a wonderful thought the moon and sun being in love, I feel it also relates to ourselves, as sometimes people can fall in love with someone they could never be with, really enjoyed the read
a very good write and theme
