The Sun Has Set On Our Love

The moon
has settled
in on us, as
the sun has
gone away

The night
we thought we’d
never see, has
come to replace
the day

The love
we thought
would live forever
is breathing its
last breath

It fought
to live for
quite some time
but now has
nothing left

Our
diminished
love will live
its days in darkness
and in night

A place
beleaguered
by the cold
without the
warmth of light

We had
our chance
at timeless
love, but alas
its fate was met 

Our time
in love is
at an end
as the sun
has sadly set

So sad, but that is what makes it beautiful, MC! I hope that by now the chill of lost love has ben replaced by the warmth of a new one! ~ Regards // paul

This is a brevity-gem and I absolutely love it. Using as few words as possible to capture an emotion in poetry form is a favorite challenge of mine and you have done it beautiful. Each line is emotionally touching and poetically riveting. 7 and a FAV (nice to meet you, can't recall if we've crossed paths before) ... CayCay

Thanks CayCay! This one, I'm afraid, was born out of necessity... I felt compelled to write the antithesis of my poem "The Sun Will Never Set On Our Love". It took a while to find the right words. Thanks so much for reading and commenting. And, maybe, but I don't believe we have, but I'm happy to have found your work CayCay. MC

It's sad when love is gone but it's better to move on! Marquis I enjoyed this gem from your poetic pen and rate it a "7!" Have a happy Fourth of July! Pandita
