Poems About the Sun and the Moon

1. The Sun and the Moon - Iconic Demon

The sun and moon, a perfect pair,
Beautiful opposites shining bright, so rare,
The sun with its fiery, brilliant glow,
The moon with its ethereal, gentle flow.
One rises in the east, the other in the west,
Two celestial beings in a cosmic duet,
The sun’s warmth embraces the earth below,
While the moon’s light shimmers with a mystical glow.
The sun burns with an intense fervor,
While the moon’s soft light soothes and purrs,
One blazes with energy, the other serene,
Together they paint a picture, a cosmic scene.
The sun and moon, a yin and yang,
Two sides of the same celestial gang,
Opposites that balance each other,
Keeping the cosmos in perfect order.
So let us marvel at their contrast and harmony,
As the sun sinks low and the moon rises calmly,
Admiring the beauty in their duality,
The perfect balance of this celestial reality.

2. In-between the sun and moon - Pádraig Ó Tuama

In-between the sun and moon,
I sit and watch
and make some room
for letting light and twilight mingle,
shaping hope
and making single glances last eternity,
a little more,
extending love beyond the doors of welcoming,
while wedding all the parted people,
even sons to violent mothers,
and searching all the others finding light
where twilight lingers,
in-between the sun and moon.

3. PART SUN AND MOON - Suzy Kassem

Everybody has a little bit of the sun and moon in them. Everybody has a little bit of man, woman, and animal in them. Darks and lights in them. Everyone is part of a connected cosmic system. Part earth and sea, wind and fire, with some salt and dust swimming in them. We have a universe within ourselves that mimics the universe outside. None of us are just black or white, or never wrong and always right. No one. No one exists without polarities. Everybody has good and bad forces working with them, against them, and within them.

4. The Sun, The Moon and Love - Sara L Russell

“Who is this goddess?” Whispered the sun,
As the moon traversed the sky,
“This angel, silent as a nun,
This silver dragonfly?”

He moved in for a closer gaze,
His heart began to speed,
As through a misty, cloud-spun haze,
He watched the moon proceed;

Soft silver tresses graced her brow,
Her dress, mother-of-pearl,
billowed like sails on a dream-ship’s prow,
or curved tsunami-swirl.

“Oh Lady Moon” murmured the sun,
“I burn, I swoon for you.
“Come let me kiss you, gentle one,
Before night passes through.”

“Come languish in my warming arms,
To music of nightjars,
Come let me taste those subtle charms,
Dear lady of the stars.”

“Ah, do not court frivolity”
He heard the moon reply.
“My purpose is to steer the sea
And yours to light the sky;”

“Why, if I languished here with you,
Tall ships would run aground,
And you must light each day anew
Or all nature confound.”

The sun-god would not be deterred,
But kissed her trembling lips.
As they embraced, no sound was heard
Throughout the first eclipse;

Waves lay as mirrors where they kissed,
Until they drew away,
To drift back into heaven’s mist,
As night melted to day.

5. The Moon and the Sun - Barry Pietrantonio

The Sun shines,
the fog blinds,
together they make,
a rainbow in the sky.

The Moon stares,
into a lake,
and wonders why,
he’s a big mistake.

Why can’t he be the Sun,
and light up the day.
Why can’t he be the one,
to make the bad go away.

Why can’t he be the light,
that brightens everyones day.
Instead he sits in the night,
wishing the Sun would go away.

The Moon glows,
the stars show,
a pattern of love,
that lights the Earth below.

To himself,
the Sun confides,
that he wishes,
he controlled the tides.

Why can’t he be the Moon,
and turn darkness into light.
Why can’t he be the one,
to light up the great night.

Why can’t he have the grace,
of being with the stars.
Instead he sits up in space,
wishing he could take his place.

But what they both don’t know is,
they need each other.
What they both don’t know is,
that they are brothers.

We live in jealousy,
envying each other.
Please, just be thankful,
and happy for others.

The Sun needs the Moon,
to keep the night lit bright.
The Moon needs the Sun,
to produce his shining light.

The Sun needs the Moon,
and the Moon needs the Sun.
If they work together,
they can be one.

If they work together,
they can be one.
if they work together,
they will be one.

If we work together,
we could be one.
If we work together,
we will be one.

6. Sun and Moon - unknown author

Legend says the sun and the moon
have always been in love,
but they could never be together since the moon
only rises at sunset
and the sun only at dawn.
Thus,
God in His infinite kindness created the eclipse
as proof that there is no impossible love.

7. SUn and Moon (yin and Yang) - Lady Scorpio

The balance of nature is essential – one force without its opposite is powerless.

The sun brings light and life, and rises after the darkest of nights.
The moon reflects the light of the sun,
illuminating the night when life rests and restores itself.

Manifest your dreams with the power of both masculine and feminine energy. When both align, all is possible.

8. If I were the moon - Jadine lydia

if I were the moon,
i would wash you with my oceans,
caress you with my silk
and bathe you in my light.
if I were the sun,
i would warm you slowly,
until you gently combust,
from the inside out,
so that you may know
the strength of
your very own flames.
if i were the stars,
i would cradle you quietly,
and whisper lightly
‘follow your dreams,
i will light up the path for you.’
yet – i am simply human,
wishing that i could be the moon, the sun, and the sky,
so that you, my love –
would always be soothed,
always be warm
and held safely day and night.

Original poem by – Jadine Lydia

9. The Sun and the Moon - tupac

your ways R similar 2 the rays of the sun
warm 2 many but 2 strong 4 some
The more u R needed the brighter u shine
watched 4 2 long and your brilliance will blind
The 👁👁s of mortal men who threaten u with doom
They regret 2 c u set but it is time 4 the moon
