Emerge from the Heavens

"He is the sun and he is the moon..."

He is the sun and he is the moon.

Which one shines brighter?

His beautiful golden rays beam at me whilst glistening against the bright blue sky,

He is a precious pearl hanging from a silver thread whilst he sparkles with stars in the black velvet sky.

Which one would I rather gaze at?

Whose eyes do I long to stare into?

I look into your eyes. Golden spheres swimming in pools of blue.

I look into your eyes. Dazzling pearls cushioned between black velvet.

Can I not take one eye from each of you and combine them to make a new pair?

You. You are not only my lover, you are my sun.

There is so much warmth to you, you make my heart melt.

Your tender words make me feel feelings I’ve never felt.

Your golden rays soak up my tears,

You are my inspirational ball of fire:

Burning all my worries to ash,

Brightening up miserable days and calming the treacherous winds.

The sky is a mystery of colours now this evening is drawing to a close;

Your golden rays kiss me goodnight as you sink further down into the sky.

You. You are not only my lover, you are my moon.

I fear the darkness until you emerge from the night sky:

Casting away the shadows,

Your blinding light terrifies the trees so much their crooked, claw-like branches snap so they can no longer grab me.

You tell the wind: You're not a snake, stop twisting through the trees like that or you will be very sore.

And just like that, it blows gently.

One frosty glare from you makes the winds’ hisses turn to a sweet serenade,

The caring soul you are, you whisper to me softly in the wind, as though not to wake anyone.

When I sleep you have the power to enter my mind, access my wildest dreams and make them come true.

When I look at you, I see so much more than that beautiful glow: your face is the map of the world where your emotions run deep.

It is a fine night and you are its shining armour;

As a star shoots across the sky I close my eyes and make a wish.

Do you know what I wish for? I wish I could have you... you as well as him.

They both light up my world.

But I am blinded by their light and I cannot see who is really meant for me;

I am blinded, blinded with tears, like a lover, as I am forced to face my fears, to choose just one and abandon the other.

Please, don't make me do this. They emerged from the heavens and shone a light to help me see the good in this cruel, cold world.

How can I possibly be expected to put out one’s spark and leave one in the dark after all they've done for me?

I look into his eyes. I pray that those golden spheres don't drown in those pools of blue.

I look into his eyes. I pray that those precious pearls won't get lost in the blackness of the velvet.
