Does The Sun Shine At Night?

Does The Sun Shine At Night?
by Plaridel Batatan, Jr. 

That morning sky
When bubbles full of rainbows flutter
In ocean breeze and grass that tickles

When the clouds dance by
And the joyous laughing and chatter
Whilst the pollen with the drizzle mingles

Does the sun shine at night?

I saw a couple of rainbows shatter
When a field of flowers wilted
And the ocean wailed into insanity

When the clouds seemed battered
The laughter and chatter jilted
And the bubbles died with vanity

And we lost the sunlight to the night

I could barely breathe
I can barely even stand
Was it because of what I said?

My body trembles as my blood seethes
The flesh underneath scrapes my skin like sand
Was it because of what I did?

I miss the sunlight and it's life-giving warmth

In the midst of all the doomed tragic love songs
In the middle of all the jeering broken hearts
Could the sun still shine?

As the moments and memories seem distorted and wrong
And dreams hopelessness thwarts
Will the sun still shine?

Many say the sun shines at night, but only when love is nearby
