Two Lovers But Like Night And Day

Two Lovers But Like Night And Day
8.8.2017

The ever-so adventurous
Ms. Emily Twirl
Self-proclaimed
To be the Daytime Girl
Races to meet her boyfriend
At the end of the world

Ms. Emily Twirl
Won’t travel at night
Time-zone skipping
To keep up with daylight 

The night
She fears
So she leap-frogs the hemispheres
From northern Junes
To southern Decembers
Some long…
Some lat…
Some day she’ll find
The man her heart remembers
And her head reminds 

But the stars to guide her
Hail from the night
Their cries fall silent
In the Twirl-less night
So her boyfriend’s gonna try
To make things right
Gonna leave tonight
Gonna catch a flight 

The equally adventurous
Robert J. Burn
Answers by the nickname
Bobby Burn Nocturn
Gonna catch his girl
At the end of the world 

Bobby Burn Nocturn
Won’t travel in light
Time-zone skipping
To keep up with the night

The light
He fears
So he leap-frogs the hemispheres
From southern Junes
To northern Decembers
Some long…
Some lat…
Some night he’ll find
The girl his heart remembers
And his head reminds 

With the stars to guide him
But through darkness blind
Flew past where he could meet her
Left his girlfriend behind
So Bobby Burn Nocturn
Flies on through the night
Gonna circle back around
Gonna make things right 

Ms. Emily Twirl
The Daytime Girl
Blinded by the light of day
And Bobby J Burn
Call him Nocturn
But will he ever find his way
Through the darkness of night
He may wish he may
She may wish he might
They’ve yet to find each other
But they’ve found a way
To miss each other
Always off by a day

Two lovers but like night and day
