One Love

Morning storms through us,
Midday scorches, hearts ablaze,
Nightfall kills the flame.

In the blue birth of dawn, when the world’s breath first stirs, 
Our love was born, trembling, a whisper in the darkness. 
The sky yawned, stretching its arms across the sleeping hills, 
And in that still moment, our hearts were sewn together 
With the silver thread of morning’s first light, 
A bond as fragile and fierce as a spider’s web, 
Glistening with the dew of promise and desire.

The sun climbed higher, a golden god upon his throne, 
And our love grew bold, laughing in the face of time. 
We danced in the fields of youth, wild and unafraid, 
Our bodies a blaze of summer’s fire, 
Burning with the heat of a thousand stolen kisses. 
Each touch was a spark, each glance a flame, 
And we roared with the lion’s pride, 
Believing the day would never end.

But the sun, weary with its labor, began to sink, 
And shadows crept across the landscape of our hearts. 
The light softened, turning gold to amber, 
And in that quiet hour, we spoke of dreams 
And fears we’d hidden in the noonday glare. 
Our love, once a roaring river, now slowed to a stream, 
Gentle and wise, knowing the path it must follow.

The evening fell, and with it came the cool embrace 
Of night’s velvet cloak, wrapping us in its quiet. 
We lay beneath the stars, our fingers entwined, 
And the world, once so vast, shrank to the space between us. 
Our love, now a whisper, echoed in the silence, 
A lullaby sung to the fading light.

And in the final moments, as the night claimed the sky, 
Our love, having lived its day, sighed into sleep. 
The moon smiled down, a mother to the dreaming earth, 
And we, two shadows merged into one, 
Became the night itself, 
One love, one day, 
Forever written in the stars.
