Sun-Merged (Poem)

Smooth Shivers of Sunlight Swirl on Skin

Sun-Merged

If I died 
In this spot 
I’d die drugged in delight 
Due to my submission 
To sunlight

You don’t need to see 
To appreciate 
The heat 

Melt with it 
Not against 
And you might find yourself 
In my position 

Planted 
Absorbing 
And believing 
That I 
Must be 
Part plant.

I wish I could drink it 
Or swim inside it 
With slurpy strokes

Either way,
I’d like it 
To be 
Liquid 

Something to dive
&
Dine amidst 

And If the time ever comes 
Choose to drown 
On its rays 
While my breath leaves 
For the Ever-Night
