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.
