Sun Kisses

I stepped outside on a warm spring day
and raised my face toward the sky.
Much to my surprise, with rays ablaze,
the sun kissed me like a lover.

Rays embracing me with open arms,
so warm and tender, gentle to the touch.
Caressing ever so softly, protecting me from harm,
and yet holding my heart at bay.

Clouds passed in front of the sun,
and no longer did I feel its kisses.
Coolness enveloped me, darkness had begun.
My lover was gone, and I was once again alone.
