Ode To Sun

Oh sun beating down on me, your kin You make me darker than the original color of my skin But it’s not your effect that I love It’s the warmth that you bring to my heart.

It took you about fifteen minutes to park, I kept busy by writing in my notebook, trying to get all my ideas down on paper so I wouldn’t forget later; because let’s admit it, I always forget come later.

The first in a series of short stories inspired by Songs. Pressing the dials on the payphone, I called her up in the middle of the night. All was dark and quiet.

Into Your Hurricane

My heart was swept into your hurricane Whirling, Whirling, Prospering. My body got tugged into your storm Raining, Raining, Growing. Your lightning awakens my heart Striking, Striking, Electrifying. Your wind stirs something within my soul Glowing, Glowing, Consuming.
