She spoke in riddles, like shadows on the cave wall
He reached for forms, beyond the rise and fall
They met where being touches not-being’s edge
He kissed her silence, like flame upon a ledge

Two halves unwhole, in love’s eternal blur
From chaos born, and to the void they go

He built his truths on marble and despair
She whispered, “Nothing stays, not even air.”

And time, the thief, unbraided what they were
Two halves unwhole, in love’s eternal blur
From chaos born, and to the void they go
Still searching for the name the soul once knew to know

Now she dreams in water, he fades in stone
A philosopher’s truth: we’re always alone
But in that loneliness, a spark remains
The love that never dies, just changes names.

O golden blaze, thou sovereign of the day,
Whose light doth stir the heavens' vast delight,
I dwell afar where shadows love to stay,
Yet yearn to bathe within thy burning light.

Thy warmth I feel not, only glimpsed afar,
A dream that dances 'cross the void of years.
Though I, a lonely and forgotten star,
Shine still with love and silent, distant tears.

Thou canst not know the longing in my flame,
Nor hear the whispers in my solar song.
For time and space do mock love’s gentle name,
And deem a bond like ours a dream too long.

Yet still I burn, though fate keeps us apart
A distant fire with thee etched in its heart.
A lonely star speaks to the sun—burning with love across the endless distance of space. Though light-years apart, its heart still glows for a warmth it may never touch.
