We cannot be the sun and moon
Whose shuttles orbit hundreds of miles
To keep their distances and painfully swoon
Light repels light no matter their differences
But this light wants to merge in a cocoon
With the light that is tearing its eyes
For its weak rays need yours to happily swoon
And sack the darkness which feels threatened and ready to kill.
I am not complacent
I have no defences where you’re concerned
We’re different but our togetherness will be magnificent
Our first steps developed friction
Friction that was everything but descent
We speak from different times at the same time
Don’t even think of being reticent
No matter our times, we stand in unison, so please unburden you and me.
