Sunburn

The sun's flames lick my back and burn the outer crust; warm my hidden bones.

I see the orange glow behind closed eyes, as the rays fall across my face and 
dance up and down my body.

I want to lie naked, and spread eagled, so it can trickle between my legs and brown me inside and out.

The sun is my lover, his passions burn like fire.
