Dusk dusts indigo hues of heaven across the nape of your neck and down your spine.
I can’t help but notice the brightness of your smile
As the warm blue shades prepare the earth for a slumber so sweet
That only the sticky summer wind can relieve it.
And I can’t help but think of how good it would feel to have the cool grass caress my back with a million and five of God’s green little thumbs
And your hand caress my neck as we become one with the night-fallen earth
As the fireflies blanket us in a starlit glow that only two star-crossed lovers can produce.
On a day so hot and heavy, how sinfully sweet it would be to get hot and heavy with you
Against the cool red sheets that know our deepest and darkest secrets as we melt into one
Molded by the heat of the day and of our bodies
As we cascade down to the cool wooden floor

Angry at the Sun
I am angry at the sun. I am angry at the sun for shining its spotlight on my insecurities. The sweat on my brow, The sweat on my upper lip, The sweat pouring down my face In buckets; I am a mess. I am angry at the sun for searing my flesh Though I did everything I could to prevent from being cooked alive. I think the sun wants to eat me. Although my flesh is browned and charred by the hellish sun, I don't smell very delectable at all. I wouldn't eat me. I am angry at the sun for weighing me down with its unbearable heat. Heat that I carry upon my back and in the sweat on my brow that pulls me down to the depths of hell until I'm too weary to go on. I am angry at the sun for causing my skin to grow older than my heart and for causing the cancer to grow in the skin of my father and mother. I am really angry at the sun for that. The sun is a cancerous growth pressing down on the charred flesh of my shoulders Increasing the volume of sweat in my brow and on my lip Reminding me that I could have just stayed inside instead.

Time for #2
This is the second article on my review of the ideas in The Four Agreements. Here's the first article: I knew that I'd move forward with this series, but I put it off as Agreement #2 is a big stumbling block for me. I'd like to say I decided to get out of my own way and thus wrote this, but that isn't the truth. (Since Agreement #1 is to Be Impeccable with Your Word I surely need to own up to that)
