Array ( [sid] => 129599 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Desert Winter Sun [time] => 2006-12-19 22:48:36 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Cruel Desert Winter Sun, why do you hurt me so?
I feel your pain and taste the rain
that have become your tears;
But must you keep from me the Moon of my own heart?
His light divine was briefly mine -
A touch I've longed for years.

You remind me that He was yours before my time;
I entered Night, hidden from sight
and stole the Summer Moon.
I've made Him break the vow He made to the night's Stars;
The guilt is great, and for my fate
it seems you'll haunt me soon.

For now He must fufill the duty of a Moon:
He must reflect light and protect
the Stars till they are grown;
Why won't you let Him share His glow that sooths my pain?
Can't you agree your harsh decree
is Fear's loved icy stone?

I wait in cold silence to see the Moon again;
For now I stand in Pain's cold land
Where sunlight burns me down.
Will I ever see the night before I die?
The Sun will keep Him - watch me me weep,
And rejoice in my frown.

My tears will freeze the summer breeze
As long as She can shine;
But can't She see though She burns me
the Moon will still be mine? [comments] => 1 [counter] => 179 [topic] => 33 [informant] => ruby_dreamer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SecretLove )

Desert Winter Sun

Cruel Desert Winter Sun, why do you hurt me so?
I feel your pain and taste the rain
that have become your tears;
But must you keep from me the Moon of my own heart?
His light divine was briefly mine -
A touch I've longed for years.

You remind me that He was yours before my time;
I entered Night, hidden from sight
and stole the Summer Moon.
I've made Him break the vow He made to the night's Stars;
The guilt is great, and for my fate
it seems you'll haunt me soon.

For now He must fufill the duty of a Moon:
He must reflect light and protect
the Stars till they are grown;
Why won't you let Him share His glow that sooths my pain?
Can't you agree your harsh decree
is Fear's loved icy stone?

I wait in cold silence to see the Moon again;
For now I stand in Pain's cold land
Where sunlight burns me down.
Will I ever see the night before I die?
The Sun will keep Him - watch me me weep,
And rejoice in my frown.

My tears will freeze the summer breeze
As long as She can shine;
But can't She see though She burns me
the Moon will still be mine?

Most people refer to the moon as a "her". Its nice to see a diffrent perspective...as well as how artfully you have done it!!
