Featured Poetry Sanaya Morning Sunshine

Morning Sunshine

Morning sunshine hugs my bones

Light that trickles in slowly
And then drenches

Alive, and hot
But a love that melts in my mouth

Tickles the tops of blades of grass
Plays between my hair, sunshine

I wish I could pour you into a jar and keep you close

Burst through my blood
Caress my skin

Reaches out to hold me, sunshine
I am safe in your arms.
