burning / cooling

sunshine, you’re burning me.

you’re turning me all red.

i felt your light, your beauty,

but laid too long in bed.

…but how could i not?

the warmth you always shed –

onto my skin, i was cold then,

now left all blistery red.

—

moonlight please forgive me,

i wandered much too far.

i fell for light

on a cold night,

i should have sat with the stars.

i know that there’s a balance,

i know the night can love

a sunshine babe, please send my way

when he needs a starkissed dove.
