Who Is The Sun?

Who Is The Sun?, poem by Signe Robertson, 2009




Who is the Sun
But whoever keeps you warm?
Who is the Moon
But whoever protects you while you sleep?
And gently strokes your cheek
Or keeps you up all night
With her warm, soft light
While you burn her memories to ashes
And cover her every flaw
With a fresh kiss
And you make up silly lies
About a world that's in her eyes
And devote your religion
To the beauty of her skin
Just for the joy
Of making her happy again
