That Very Sun

The moon had always chased the sun; 
Strapped as it were to earth's gravity,
 
But, all its sighs do is to 
Pull on heartstrings of lunatics 

Far beneath the clouds 
That they wished to climb

Those clouds, they wish too 
For moonless, star-drenched nights

Where twin souls go to make love
On numbered nights of togetherness

And ages later, smell each other's lips
In first rains drenching the ground 

While the moon pursues her fortnightly 
Death, her undying desire for that very sun
