sunflower

“without the sun’s heat and light, the earth would be a lifeless ball of ice-coated rock”

dear sun,

i am a sunflower

your most impassioned lover

dedicated to your one and only warmth

so infatuated by your lustre

i look away from the moon’s meagre reflection

so truly yours

i am almost you

56-84 days of life

56-84 nights of wistful longing

i don’t even want a name

one that’s not married to you

our love is sunlight

my love letters petals

carried by your winds
