The Heat of the Day

Write a poem inspired by this theme.

You’re The Sun (Cold Lover)

Oh cold lover, my heart you have caught,

As I think of you on humid days like these.

I know you hate when the weather is hot,

But you are the only warmth that I need.


You are the sun, with which I can’t part,

Without you in my life, I’m frigid and blue.

Your radiance alone envelops my heart,

Searing my brain with the memory of you.


You make me feel like a noble knight,

Glistening steel reflecting your bright beams,

But also like a damsel with a blight:

Waiting for you, he who blesses my dreams.


In reality, you were never mine,

Just another daydream-induced affliction

While the warmth of the spring is fine,

Nothing can beat you: my golden depiction.


Though the heat keeps me wanting more,

Thoughts of your warmth are in my mind, preserved.

Being without your love is a fate worse than war,

Even if your love is one I never deserved.


Oh cold lover, my heart you still own,

I yearn for you when the shining light wakes.

I’ll stay here with feelings I should postpone,

But I’ll wait for you, however long it takes.
