the last sunrise

  
in the pale mist, I first saw you  
my eyes blink back tears  
for the man with the cosmic gaze  
I was sunrise on a darkened day  
you were the light to guide my way  

the Earth turned on its axis  
and for a time you revolved around me  
in my quiet time, I found God in your arms  
 
you fed me the celestial  
with ideas of the karmic wheel  
I opened your mind  
we were a pair fo the ages  
 
then one-day time stopped  
my heart caught in my throat  
when I realized you no longer had eyes for me  
 
a fairer lass caught your heat  
she felt your flame  
and you danced in hers  
 
my skies went black that day  
I raged against the deity  
who brought you to me demanding why?  
 
with ruins, I divine our future  
you would not be returning  
I lost you to the lady  
who smelled of the sea  
her tide rushed in  
pulling you far from my side  
 
inside me, I died a little  
naked and alone in my sin  
 
a woman with the sunrise in her glance  
you watched on as the sun went down  
never to rise again
