Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Under a Blazing Sun

The glowing ball in the heavens 
   sends down its rays
onto the asphalt homeland 
   In gardens, in playgrounds
       Youth are ignited by 
the warmth 
    In a park two young 
people embrace 
   In the shade 
below the trees 
Sweet kisses and caresses 
      make their hearts pound 
Love making out of doors 
    No one sees them 
As the afternoon begins to 
     change to evening 
They part ways with
  longing gazes 
Tomorrow suns another day

Kabuteng P.Ink K. March 21, 2014 at 1:39 PM HI Matthew, yes, the sun sure can give off a lot of heat, ei? I like what you did here, taking off from the sun's heat and showing how it can also 'ignite' others... hope you don't mind me pointing out the typo in your 7th line for "two" ... enjoyed this poem of yours, thanks for sharing!
