I trusted in the Sun
In its promises of warmth and light and hope
I submitted to its charm
Trusting in it evil ways
Sun wrapped me up
In rays of love
Seducing me with its power
My flesh craved for more
For more of Sun’s kisses
Over me
But when it had left its mark
And done its deed
Sun bid farewell
With a love-bite
Etched across my skin
And scars for me to heal
Tag sun
Winter Sun
Writing a Better Me
Southern Hemisphere Lovin’ Gal
Springtime celebrated every year
This September brought a fresh Summertime Dose
Of turmoil, agony and despair
Not knowing what to do, and where to go
How to get rid of this darkness within
I looked to the sun, and saw brightness and light
I looked within, and felt courage and life
So many words flowing forth from my heart
I started to write, I started to type
And every day ever since
I have written, I have typed
Words arising, healing, flowing
Understanding a little more of my soul within
Therapeuting, growing, empathising
Passionating my way to be a better me –
In the depths of despair I held out my arms
And was gently lifted from the dark well surrounds
To a higher, brighter, sun-drenched place
Of life, and light, and safety
Find a Better Me here: If Tomorrow comes
