Sun-Kissed

You are sun-kissed.

Set against the salubrious sheen of the secure wall.

Strong and stubborn. Ah, somewhat sweet.

Quiet. Nice. Serene. Like the perpetual humming of a familiar song to drown out external existence.

Soft. Safe. Warm; a Warmth that caresses my skin with dancing fingertips; trailing patterns that go unseen on weary flesh.

You are sun-kissed.

Long way, to a distant place

Long ago, in the distant past 

I search for lights

I am nothing at all

Pain is me

I imagine a ghost 

I lose myself

A useless person.

Oh, yes? Really? Is that so? 

I see an omen

Darkness 

Perhaps, I will perish

As I search for lights
