How we wound the Sol
With teeth, blades, and tongues of gold
It weeps sultry fire as it crawls,
To a tranquil realm God crafted olde
I beseech the Sol to stay
But it’s wails crescendo to a shrill,
Enow! It bellows, fire cascading upon the vale
Forsooth, humanity are unworthy with poor will
Nay! I cry,
We are flawed, true! We love you!
The Sol disregards me and descends without comply
I choke ...
I the sun
Gave you humans
Everything
Light
Fire
Hope
And what do you repay me with
You petty humans afraid
At seeing my light
Why do you do this
Is it that you are afraid of my wrath
Or is it that you grew weak
At seeing me at day
Everytime you look up
Everyday I am a gift
And yet
I am growing tired and weary of you humans squandering
My light that I gave you
You are starting to take ...
In the end,
i gave you torches.
When there was darkness,
humans chose the shadow.
In the beginning,
i know your dark hearts.
When i gave you light,
humans thrived at night.
And then there is now,
i gave you the brightness.
The moon gave you serenity,
and now you crave balance.
...
i love you baby ...

Her fist slammed onto the table and shook the dinnerware. She was tired....
As God watched, millennia tumbled by aimlessly, much like a stone chipped free from a cliff and bouncing down a rock covered face. It splashed when it hit the water. The plume left in it’s wake resembled the bombs which ended the previous species.
The sun looked on daily, exhaustedly.
Revolution then revolution then reformation and back to reactions again.

As the moon’s soft glow gives way to the sun’s bright gaze, it beholds the flowers once crushed in the shadows of your night. You reach to save them, to lift them from the soil, but they cannot be restored. For in the dark, you trampled them, and by day, you hid, as the sun witnessed their fall....
you called me
and we explained why we did the things we did
i told you how you hurt me
you apologized
you told me why
if you had just told me
while it was happening
we could’ve avoided
so much heart wrenching pain
but no
we worked things out
and i’m so happy we did
truly
but you told me something
so peculiar
you did want to take me to that dance
not just as friends
but more
you told everyone e...
the sun grows weary
of seeing men squander its light
one man
wasting the glow that radiats from her skin
waste of space
waste of time
he treats her like she’s merely a
trail of his stardust
rather than the blazing glory that she is
the sun grows annoyed
at the words the man throws her way,
for she is not as important as him,
but the sun doesn’t speak
as she doesn’t want her burning beauty
to sca...
The sun grew weary of seeing men squander it’s light
It couldn’t say why it continued to shine
It would work all day just to say it was bright
When the men would complain and ask for the night...
