The moonlight shines upon the lovers

intertwined in Eros’s passionate song.

"Such a sweet melody," they whisper

hand holding petite hand.

The sunlight shines upon the sorrows

of this hellish world.

Arms of lepers reach

to touch them

their bodies cloaked in white.

The foolish lovers turn away their gaze

preferring the solstice of the moonlight

to the sun's everlasting gaze.
