#sunburnt
getting sunburnt may be painful. but its so worth it. making those memories of being on the beach with friends or maybe your family. or being at a pool party to cool off after that forty degree day. i would exchange laughs for sunburn any day. because memories, they stay.

sunburn
Most hate sun burns the harsh shine of the sun the tingling pain left behind aching limbs which are bright red like the sun's surface itself I wait for the burn to pass each hour reapplying aloe vera to my aching joints before bed I smother in the stuff at which point I twist and turn. Finding an angle in which my scorched skin does not touch a surface proved to be a difficult task But on the silver side of things my kisses from the sun do pass as does the sun itself. In a cycle year after year the sun never ceases to hug me between it's busy schedule of keeping Earth alive The most important job of all.

Sunburnt
She sprawled out across the sky, bored, Perfectly sun-kissed. From a distance she could fit In my hands. Day, the name we hold dearest Day, the name of the memory I placed her above all else. I too, lay sprawled out, beneath her. The intensity of how she makes me feel, A region I know well, sweltered & swollen, Without walls or halls to contain the effect she has on me. She took my hand & gave me the gift of her presence. My heart but a burning bush from this intense percussion, this rapid sensation spreading steadily, rapidly. A giant in my eyes. I've climbed the highest building & collapsed beneath her. Black & wilted, I am the wick without promise of tomorrow

Sunburnt
Sunburnt skins and moonkissed hearts, Pouring rains and heel-clicking walks. Rough edged pages and unplayed tracks, Carved pumpkins and ever burning lamps. Unkept hair and pretty sundress, Cold meal and unheld hands.

The sun gone cold
We love our sunburnt Christmas, Hot for Christmas Day, no less, Maybe a hint of eucalyptus, Good old Australian Christmas, We pray for a peaceful day, The slow news Christmas way, Encircle the world in a Christmas embrace, Hot for Christmas, no less, Yes, we do love our sunburnt Christmas!
