Sun-kissed

"Sun-kissed" by J.L. Comes

Myrtle Beach: my first taste of the Sun’s kiss;

A warm embrace like none I’d ever known,

Where brief engagements were fiery bliss

But lingering lips burned deep to the bone.

I’d tempt my Fate with every affair

Though I knew it could not last forever,

I gave my body to the Sun; I’d share

My flesh in search of its blazing pleasure.

Sometimes the Sun left me with a light glow,

Other times it left a lasting red smack,

But the best made me gold from head to toe:

A sign its heated kiss was right on track.

I remember that summer, full of fun

And those long, heated kisses from the Sun.
