A Letter from a Confused Sun Lover

A piece that I wrote inspired by the sun

Oh! I see you peak in between my curtains, the first thing that I see when I open my eyes into this world. You blind me sometimes with your shinning gaze, sometimes I can’t wait to see you, you are the best part of my day. The way you wrap me up into your warmth leaves me giddy, and I can still feel the heat on my skin that you leave behind when you kiss me. Your sheer optimism and promise of a new beginning are a gift that no other can leave me. Every time the earth spins and I lose you to the darkness I lose myself, I fight the night to see you rise once more. Seeing you rise out into the dawn ready to greet me with open arms, soothes my spirit and rocks me to slumber fore I know I am safe when you are in the sky

You are everything

My love grows for you as I wish you to stay forever and always

But those same kisses that leave that simmering heat I love so can grow painful, it is biting, and we can feel your intensity grow. Ugh why are you so mad! You run so hot, this is a side of you I’ve grown to detest, how you burn so bright you blind us for days. I grow weak as now the skin you kissed to darken starts to blister and burn. Why did you give me this tan line? Do you hate me now? Do you hate us now as your burn for months on end without stopping, while the sheer force of you wreaks havoc on what we hold dear? Sometimes I wish you would go away so we can be reminded to embrace the coldness of you being gone. Go away! So, we can finally repair what you broke in the wave of your destruction. A chance to finally break from the relentlessness of your gaze as you watch over us… But then, who are we when you are gone?

We are nothing

Yet even when I wish you away, my love for you remains, unyielding

You bring life and burn bright

Signed,

 A confused sun lover

How beautifully you write @ whitelightning17. It reflects the beauty of your mind. Your confusion seems to only intensify your love for the sun and you keep us readers equally invested in it with your depth and flow of words. I read it over and again to feel your dialogues with this powerhouse of Light. Your complaints hurts and fears are lovingly human personifying the attributes of Sun God. It is indeex a form of God who is visible and nourishes all of us everyday, even at night with its soothing and healing through moonlight! Your poem is such a treatise and tribute to an energetic STAR.

i love this idea that the persona is in a relationship with the sun. and like all of us when we fall in love, this person is mad. it's cute and whimsical and a treat to read.
