I Held the Sun
March 17, 2010
I held the sun
between my fingers.
Smaller than I expected
and cooler too.
Bringer of our light,
courier of days
rays that herald the future
settings that paint the twilight
But compared to me -
my love
how small it was.
Like a pebble.
But compared to you -
your eyes
how dull it was
like a stone.
You and I
we make something greater
greater than the sun.
greater than the twilight
and the dawn that wakes us...
we awaken love.

"'Sal, we gotta go.' 'Where to, man?' 'I don't know but we gotta go!'" -On the Road, Jack Kerouac
This is very beautiful.
My only critique is the use of the word 'twilight' simply because it evokes unwanted thoughts of the series called--hold it, you might have heard of it--Twilight.
Other than that, this is a simple, sweet poem.
