Let me soak into your warmth today
before they erect another of those
hideous monstrous structure
in that gap between the buildings.
Who’s going to wake me up slowly
with a kiss from the morning glow?
Who’s going to make me fall asleep
with that last defiant spark?
Our relationship confined only for mid-day
in the glaring light of high-noon,
will be reduced to a quick hungry coupling
full of carnal passion and lust.
What will happen to the little ones -
our beautiful blooming violets?
They will miss you terribly, yet
surely, wilt beneath your angry gaze.
My beloved Sun, I shall love you always
and patiently wait for the day when by God's grace
another gap forms between some buildings
enabling us to be together again for the entire day
..................... as we are meant to be.
