A night's embrace

Each day, the setting sun reveals two “lovers” right on my doorstep. They are inspiring to watch…


As day is done and night comes out
when no one else is seen about
two lovers take the chance to meet,
but they aren’t seen out on the street;
they meet up high, up high above
where they can sit and be in love.

He wraps his arms around her hips
and she moves in to meet his lips
and all night long they sit there, still;
they hope and pray with all their will
that dawn won’t come, that no new day
will take the moment’s love away.

But without moonlight, this won’t last;
the same as every night that’s passed.
Tomorrow, back here they will come,
embracing once the day is done.

Now without mercy, day draws near
and with the sunlight, vision clear
to show two lovers for their truth:
two chimneys, seated, on the roof.
