This one turned on me towards the middle. I wanted one thing, it wanted another. In the end, the poem won out. Its all about love.
 



Sun Worshiper 

~ 

Oh the shame, 

the burn, 

of being scorched by your flame. 

I love to spend the day 

worshiping your glory 

basking in your glowing ray. 

Feel alive, 

grown red in the face, 

know I'll survive. 

~ 

Another day, 

another dollar. 

Rain go away. 

Leave me parched 

as a desert. 

My back arched, 

my limbs relaxed. 

Stress of life gone, 

and my soul untaxed. 

~ 

At your altar, 

I leave it all. 

No reason to falter. 

Questions asked 

been answered. 

It's been unmasked. 

Life is okay and boring, 

“glamorous” again. 

I'm finished exploring. 

I idolized and adored you. 

It was proven 

very untrue. 

~ 

Sun, oh mighty sun, 

why must you shine one day 

only to leave me undone? 

Bring back the rain. 

Love is overrated 

and only leads to pain.
