sleeping sun

• the sun is sleeping quietly
  once upon a century
  wistful oceans calm and red
  ardent caresses laid to rest
  
  for my dreams i hold my life
  for wishes i behold my night
  the truth at the end of time
  losing faith makes a crime
  
  i wish for this night-time
  to last for a lifetime
  the darkness around me
  shores of a solar sea
  oh how i wish to go down with the sun
  sleeping
  weeping
  with you
  
  sorrow has a human heart
  from my god it will depart
  i'd sail before a thousand moons
  never finding where to go
  
  two hundred twenty-two days of light
  will be desired by a night
  a moment for the poet's play
  until there's nothing left to say
