Drinking In the Day

My eyes rest, closed; I drink the warmth

Embrace of sun’s warm light

Piercing through my onyx

clothes

Encapsulating sight

Freckled kisses on my skin

Gold rays stimulate

Still mind drifts; “remember

when?”

A sun-drunk liquid state

Where tickling each blade of hair

Soft effervescent beams

Tiptoe 'cross the shade of where

Darkness shielded gleam

Every fiber of my self

Awakened to its calling

Blushing cheeks and heart a-melt

As evening time starts falling

Pouring out its final drop

Knelt beneath the fountain

I capture it within my cup

And treasure ’til Night’s broken
