Sun
Is the sun hot?
You must be, but from here,
You just seem warm
Delicate dancing on my skin,
Unless I bask for too long
And my flesh sizzles like steak and I burn,
But still,
I’m only red.
If I were to jump to you,
Break the atmosphere,
Would you shred me with radiation?
I don’t believe it.
You’re life.
We drink in your light and,
When we can’t drink,
We swim.
I would rather burn with you than freeze in the dark,
So, I leap and cross the vacuum on my way to you.
You still haven’t forgotten im here.
I cross the void for you.
With you.
I get here and scoop your molten plasma with my meaty mits.
It melts my heart instantly.
I still have so much more to give.
My other arm. My legs.
My lips.
Finally, I’m with you.
I can tell you noticed,
Solar flares, million degrees, your corona.
Do you see me, my love?
As I spend the next trillion years mixed with your protons.
Dynamite, hydrogen.
I was wrong.
You’re hot baby.
Hot as hell.
What next
