Chiaroscuro
The moon silently cooed the sun,
she was sneaking behind a cloud
while he was shining so bright and proud,
she tiptoed kissing him in a run
He flickered shyly after the touch,
she tried to hide, but not too much
the golden light became argentine,
silvery-gold turned the night within
Her queendom covering all the space,
carpeted velvet of flashing stars,
chariots of fire leaving a trace,
untrodden paths of the avatars
So she´ll be stomping the fog away
playing the muse for those who write
mystery glitter, performing rite
love´s in the air meaning to stay
Sol and Selene shall meet again,
She, being naughty, him with his pride
a true pure feeling that can sustain,
the different moments where they abide

How do you feel about love stories with the sun and the moon?
See results without votingIf I had you near
If I had you near
if I had you at hand
you would never land
an unhappy tear
If I had you near
to light up my days
nor sorrow or fear
would show on my face
If I had you near
I´d enjoy your voice
caressing my ear
with the sweetest poise
If your willful shine
enshrouded my quill
my poetic line
would write how I feel
If I had your heart
to cuddle, to kiss
I would never part
you would be my bliss
If I could just tell
how to weave a spell
I would freeze up time
and you would be mine
If I had a dove
with angel-like wings
I would send you rings
sprinkled with love
If I had you near
If I had you close…

You have a way with words, from the soul, the only kind I stop to read. I find surprise a real feeling when I write from the soul and it's as surprising to me as if my fingers read my mind before I was told. Great read here.

Both poems are beautiful, but the second one is my favorite. Freezing time to keep one's love gives me a beautiful visual. If you haven't met Poetlorraine, she is another poet in Hubpages and I recommend her work as writes about everything.
Thumbs up!
