My dear Sun, may I embrace you?

Oh! My dear Sun,
The guardian from the east,
You shine on the world,
You shower on her and all hers, the bounty of life,
You keep her warm all day, without any strife

But tell me Sun,
My dear guardian from the east,
What do you do every night, at the west?
And what,of the rainy,gloomy days ?
when you're behind the cloud façade

Are you secretly crying, yearning or craving?
Do you miss someone, that was yours before?
And when you do, do your tears put off your rays?
Who shines then, for you when you need?
And what makes you alive again, and come ablaze?

Do you parch the earth, make her feel dry?
Oh my dear sun, isn't it unbecoming of you?
To show your angst at her and all that don't care
To show them that despite your glory,my Sun,
That you're a lonely wolf, despite being so high?

I have not the light, have not the rays to reach you,
But may I shine for you, at least fail trying to?
May I shine through your light, may I touch through your rays?
May I embrace you at least with my love filled bosoms?
Like a hapless handless man would do..

All for one more apple

I set off for the eternal dark forest,
Deceived as bright by the occasional sunlight,
On my way to the final dark cave,
Of eternal light, glory and delight
And as I left the seer gave me an apple,
That'd keep me going to a day and night,
'You'll be there by then son' he said,
It will see you through your last day of plight

As I walked ahead, I found another apple,
I picked it, 'will I need it?' I asked, 'Yes I might',
What if took me more than an apple,
To keep delay and hunger from ruining my final flight
And so I needed a larger bag, the one I had cold keep just one
And to earn it, I put off starting by one more night,
Shouldn't take too long to feel miserable, I told myself,
After all, am headed for eternal delight

The larger bag asked me for broader shoulders,
So I toiled for days, to build the breadth and all the might,
I ran, I skipped and toned my shoulders,
I built my shoulders, for my future, eternal and bright
All for the bag, as the body grew in strength and size,
So did my appetite, it grew higher day and night,
Oh! just another apple, for the journey, I told myself,
In the end, it would be eternal delight

And thus grew the apples, the Bag and I,
In an endless loop of many a day and night,
I now had an orchard, many sacks and I,
More than what I needed, but then, no respite,
The seer came, he smiled, 'My dear boy', he said,
One apple's all you needed, to march ahead that night
Lo! you now have hundreds to cast away, and your hunger too,
Until then, you'll keep watering them, all your yearning despite.

Sun-flower

The sun-kissed flower, sunflower, she is
And the sun he is, for he kisses her, no less, no more
And sunflower she is, for her eyes, see none else
Up up until the horizon, and then the ground, at night
Neither pull each other, for an embrace, warm and tight
For she'd burn or he'd sink, and love'd die of love,
What's love if this is not, where love's offered on the altar,
On the alter of love, love is the reason, the oblation,
And love's all that's left of the sacrifice
