Rooftop View (Waiting for the Shine)

This poem was sitting in my head from this weekend, but I saw a picture that said I must put it down. Enjoy.

(Instrumental Track: “Floetry – Say Yes”)

It was dark
on that rooftop
but I could still
see forever…

…and I held her tight.

See after
spending the entire night together
we stopped on that rooftop
with our pockets full of
collected moonshine.
Ready to trade it all with
the sun
who would soon rise
with a new day to change
the rest our lives.

and while we sat
watching and waiting
for the waking of the dawn
we saw stellar children laughing
as they glided along the sky,
ran between
planetary beings
that slowly strolled
through constellations
while holding hands
that now and again
give a twinkling of their eyes

at us…
two lovers that seemed to be
in-tuned into this universe
waiting,
anticipating for the sun to come
and have the day renewed.

And before he removed
all memories of this night
I knew what I had to do
and make my move
through the cool
of the now light blue air
I reached through the atmosphere
and laid hold of her
heavenly form.
Pulled her tightly
into my arms
so she would remain warm.

And we,
in time
and in sync,
with the universe’s beat…
we were intertwined
before the breaking of light.

like the planets alined
and made that moment just right.
as if they lined up
just to catch a peek of us
in that flawless morning glow.

Full of perfection,
so much so that
she asked the question,
“Did you plan this?”

And really,
I never expected
to get this far,
but I guess it was already fated
in the stars.

So me, ever the poet,
I simply told her,
“Hey, I live in ten second moments,
and honestly an hour ago
I had no clue
I would be looking
at heaven
from the horizon
with you
and your celestial body
by my side.
So in this moment
even I am amazed
at the beauty
that fills the spaces
of today’s morning time.”

And with that,
she smiled
simply reclined.
turned around and
dropped her head to the side

and with the meeting of our lips
we both melted
into the divine…

…

Then… he finally
arrived.
Broke the skyline
and also
broke a smiled.

‘Cause he wanted to brighten our day,
but from above
he could see
that we
possessed so much.
See we
already had more than enough.

and even if he wanted to,
on that rooftop

not even sun
could out shine us.

Not even sun
could out shine us.
