Summertime Heat

My soul longs for your warmth, To feel your presence upon my skin, As I lay there in my waiting, My nakedness longing for your touch, Don’t leave me in my darkest hour, As your shyness hides behind the clouds, How long will you leave me in the shade? Your beauty always astounds, Your presence! The whole world longs for your attention, As your roaming continues, Until the next day dawns, On your returning visits, To shine your love for me once again, Not letting our relationship fade away, But keeping it forever aglow Burning me with desire, As your rays like fingers gently caress. 03/07/2017 For contest Sponsor Janis Thompson

WoW! This is really good. You speak of the summer sun as a lover. Super personification here. Loved it. A seven from me. God Bless and sorry I was gone for so long. Just got back to my puter.
