The Sun Drops

You wore the color of sunset ,
Sun drops burst in your soul .
I encased my love murmurs ,
Into voided poetry lines .

You put on the shades of clouds ,
Locking the moon at the bottom of the cup .
I grafted a manna-sweet mind
While you planted the seeds of bitterness .

You displayed the glory of sunrise .
Birds flocked innocently ,
Thinking that night has ended ,
Wakening all at the desert scene .

You waved the brilliance of spring ,
The sun drops were so pure and white .
Dazzling in the midst of the fading moon ,
In another round of repentance .
