This duet was started by JMC813.  It has been awhile since we have done a duet and this one made me want to watch The Notebook again.  The picture I used here was originally, best I can tell, posted as a black and white tattoo sketch on deviant art titled Kiss of the Sun and Moon by Eddie.  I colored it for this piece. 

Written by JMC813 and HastyWords

 

The sun embraces the horizon with one last caress

As the moon and first stars greet the night with a kiss

My thoughts turn to blissful memories of better times

Times when the nightly rituals of the lover’s Sol and Luna

Were inspired by a devotion shared between two same souls.

Two heart’s as one, we brought a love that warmed the sun

While delivering a passion that brought a glow to the moon.

 

As fireflies chase each other on the heated evening breeze

I watch them and remember you as I very often tend to do

You would sit with your head resting soft on my shoulder

And I could sense your contentment in every single breath

As the years went by we watched the same calendar of stars

Map out our journey leading far beyond our seeing eyes

And into an ever after that you have seemed to beat me to

 

The ever after we both happily agreed upon so very long ago

Exists in all its glory just beyond a myriad of stars inside your gaze

You have gone ahead to seek the truth from the heavens above

And I imagine you looking down on me showering me with peace

Sending me signs, as I sit in our special place, in the hopes that I’ll see

You have made a place for me there by your side in celestial paradise

So that when I arrive you may once again rest your head upon my shoulder

 

I felt my earthly body failing and without another thought I fell prostrate

Happily to the sacred ground we together lived, loved, and died upon

And when I let go of my last breath, and let my heart subside I saw the light

New-found and everlasting contentment returned to me in your presence

There you stood with a lifetime of smiles and warmth painting your face and

Together again we watched the moon and stars kiss a million nights goodbye

And suns that graced every early vista with rays that bathed us in eternal kisses.
