Sunrise

The sun is rising
too fast for some
As night time fades
I lust after the sun

But its warmly touch
is but a dream for me
For if I am graced with it
I would be greeted with death's celerity

So I drift off slowly
in to the shadows of early morn'
Thinking and dreaming
of the life I still mourn

I can no longer dance
with the sun's radiance
Or feel the heat
slowly trickle upon my skin

It is my most passionate desire
to reach out and feel its embrace
To let it cavort over my flesh
and skitter across my face

One day I will give in
to greet it with open arms
But today is not it
For I am still in lust with its charm

A beautiful poem. Good to lust for the sun. Today with 15 inches of snow in the Detroit area. I would happy dance for a warm sunny day. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
