Sunshine

Before I even open my eyes

I don't think about the list

The always to-do

I don't hear the sound

Of the outside world abound

I see the remnants of my dream

The smell of reverie

The taste of watermelon candy

The colors of a painted sky

Such an orange of zest and pink of love

I don't think about the time

Or anything hanging on the line

I don't have to make the freight train stop

Because I feel

I feel your warmth

I hear your heart

I see you, torn apart

Like particles of light sent from the sun

I feel the rays, see the energy

I feel you, all around me

The violent start of their life

Caresses my skin, says it's alright

Then I open my eyes

And nothing exists

Because I get to see you

Perfectly imperfect

Like sunshine that burns

Because I can't get enough of it

So I sit

And bask in the haze of our phase

Uncertain when the gaze upon our days

Will be dimmed by a cloud

But for now

We both know we want the other

So we soak each other in

A kind of bond that we may not quite find again
