Night and Day

Blacker than the deepest ocean, the night longs for the touch of day.

It chases it round and round this never-ending spinning orb. Just to feel that brief moment of happiness.

How it longs to hold the light for longer. It watches heartbroken as it’s rays fade when it nears and waits patiently for it’s return, but just as days soft fingers stretch out to reach it again, night is forced to shrink away.

Forever yearning for each other. Forever wanting time to stop.

Loved for all eternity, but never able to love together. . .

Night and Day.

This poem should definitely be sent to NASA, haha! ;) I love the imagery and its meanings. Wishing for the day and night for each to linger a little more each time; a bond that wishes to get stronger with each passing hour, but can only hold on so much, but sadly, one must part the other until then. A very nice piece!! :)

There is a vastness... a timeless wonder to your words.. You etch the colour of the skies and earth... day and night... black and white... and you make their longing seem so poignant... so achingly real.

Really breath taking poetry here....dawn and dusk...when twilight conjoins night and day...in that brief moment, in life, Love is there, if only briefly.
