star kissed

 
the night ache  
& desired a soulmate  
a divine love  
with passion to match his own  
 
the day was in his sights  
he cast long shadows  
on her curvaceous silhouette  
 
the sun rivaled  
him for her affection  
the night wish  
to make this sweet lady his wife  
 
so he kissed her skin  
with the stars  
bedecked  
with his finest jewels  
she was finally  
treated as a Goddess  
 
his intentions shown  
she shy from the sun  
who left her naked  
& exposed  
revealing all her flaws  
 
hoping to demean  
loveliness  
before she knew  
her true worth  
hoping he could claim  
her beauty for his own  
 
the night sheltered  
& kept her  
his moon eclipsing  
the scornful orb  
 
whose thoughts were  
self serving  
rooted in selfishness  
each day in his care  
she wilted & fade  
 
the night rejuvenated  
Day's glory  
they married  
& their first child was born  
the couple named him Shade  
 
a big brother & guardian  
to their Earth bound children  
under his guard  
they are given rest  
from the sun's scorn  
 
Night adopted Day's little ones  
claiming them as his own  
he watches on protectively  
 
while Day nurses  
the hurt children of the sun  
the precious ones he burned
