My sky,
And your sky a separated world.
Even the fragments of the earth
Mirror this division.
When the sun blazes fiercely
Over my head,
You rest peacefully
Under the cool embrace of starlight.
Moonlight, for me,
Turns into a burden of pain,
While you gather
Fresh blossoms of dawn.
The Sunlight
Paints you in hues of gold,
While here, darkness
Scribbles my story in shadows.
In one corner of the world,
You surrender to dreams,
While in another,
The unending lesson of sleeplessness
Etches my fate.
And always,
An ocean of separation
Spans between us, An eternal testament
To a distance, we cannot bridge.
