STAR CROSSED LOVERS by Robin Prince Monroe

STAR CROSSED LOVERS by Robin Prince Monroe

Adorned with scrim of clouds and mist,

her face reflected in shining sand,

Sun dresses in violet, rose, and gold preparing for her beloved.

Moon rises clothed in dusky gray,

delighted to see her waiting there,

His silver fingers stretch over the water, sprinkling gifts of sparkling stars.

He reaches to touch Sun’s gleaming face.

Her golden arms fling open wide.

Then bound by time, Sun pulls away,

And sadly, softly nods good-bye.

The sea oats whisper to the wind.

Bright tears splash waves with toppling light

Smaller now but hopeful still,

Moon bravely lights another night.
