~ The Sun… ~ 

☆

You may sink into the cosiest

of rooms, calling it cool comfort

Making temperatures dance

on your fingertips—

I call it mere illusion, a mirage…

You may coat your face with

layers of polish and grease

but the Sun will sear them off

like molten lava dripping

till your bare face surfaces…

I do not escape to shelters

I stand where the Sun blazes

Vertical, blinding, merciless…

Why to meet anyone in shades

Why not under the scorching zenith

When Sun spews its fiery venom

All masks melt

All lies shatter

And the truth remains exposed—

Raw, unbroken, unstoppable…!
