Here the Sun and Moon Dance

By Shishira Philip

We will meet again, 

At a star-filled kingdom no one knows 

Where there are silk-layered seas 

and the hallways of the castle echoes with sweet music 

I will wear a dress made of sunlight, 

satin and gold 

You will wear a coat made of night, 

black and silver 

Your ears will pick up the sounds of melodies 

My eyes will light up at the presence of stories 

We will hold a lamp which captures

our every curve  

Our eyes will express feelings that we cannot utter 

Our hands will not let each other go.
