I Once Loved the Sun

In those younger years I made a friend of the sun And allowed her to bathe me In brown creamy skin In those younger years I ran across a beach And played with the sun Let her sprinkle freckles Upon my healthy golden cheeks In those younger years I had my way With the sun Took her in so many Different positions Under the burn of her sultry touch In those younger years I traveled to exotic climes Just to enter my sunshine heaven And soak up her glow But the cave I now inhabit Shuts out all the warming rays The cave in which I hide Repels all her sunny ways The cave I made from earth and Resignation Never lets her kiss within The cave I excavated Collapses upon my daily sins In those younger years I once loved the sun
