Moon Sans Sun Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Moon Sans Sun

Rating: 5.0


how romantic!
we make love
by the light of the silvery moon
but too early
we find too soon
that the moon never gives light
from itself
it is depending wholly
upon the light of the golden sun

Oh this is good! This is really good! I love the twist with moon's 'stolen' light

If sun reigns moon makes life rejuvenate and restore after rest

A romantic parasite sharing the little love light it steals from the sun. Great metaphor

Stolen perhaps, but still romantic! If there were no moon dark would be the night!
