Sunlight

This was written on July 23 2010

Carving into flesh with heat
Leaving scars impossible to heal
Standing underneath you
Waiting for some salvation
No safety even in darkness
Glorious light surrounds the world
Encompassing every bump
All craters filled with your love
So intense to make a wish of relief
Too hot to handle

Leave for now
Let your sister rise tonight
Her soft glow caressing my skin
Illuminating the waters before me
To remind us all of your glory
So when you rise again
We will not take for granted
The warmth you provide
Even if overwhelming
Charring the skin you touch
Defeated by your love
Surrendering to the pain
Drained by the heat of passion
You leave me breathless
