a day in the life of the sun

the calm of the morning is disrupted by light
the rays of the sun give day a new life.
a stranger approaches, uncertainty is clear
rejection so early is his greatest fear
timidly offering his hand to another
does the dawn of this day promise a new lover?

the chariot continues it's heavenly course
spilling warmth and love from its radiant source.
comfort grows between the two who met
a thawing of formalities; no doubts or regrets
the excitement of new romance is perfectly clear
a high noon sun draws ever near.

blazing hot heat scorches the land
as the mercury rises something gets out of hand.
small, little questions sneak into the mind
but answers, between the two, are hard to find
familiarity has now settled at home
one works late, the other eats alone.

due west the horizon is in sight
the sun begins to give way to the night.
the fun and happiness that once was around
no longer seems so easily found
more of his annoying idiosynchracies
become much easier for the eyes to see.

dusk breezes by and night takes the stand
a whole new world is now at hand.
secrets, deceptions, insecurities- suspicions are raised
when questions about love leave one partner unfazed
no longer right in the place shared together
a belief settles in, "alone i'd be better".

long is the night held fast by the dark
the world will have changed by morning's first mark.
"why did i ever..." echoes through the heart
"...give it the chance, i should have stopped at the start".
another day starts with the break of the dawn
by then, yet another, love will have gone.

and dawn breaks and a new day begins
will I find the strength to do it again?
