The Sun's Stunning Glare

The Sun's Stunning Glare                                                    by michaelcahill like the beckoning of an endless abyss I hear whispers that will not cease are you my only friend this endless bottomless miasma of sorrow attracting me like a vixen feigning innocence wearing a sundress in front of a leering spotlight   shall I believe in your purity while you seek the perfect viewing angle the perfect tilt to your head allowing the wind to gently fondle your hair your dress rises … just a little any more would be obvious   yet I couldn't possibly miss its ascent up your tense and woefully bold thigh you stretch your arms slowly skyward I climb them with my eyes imagining I am your fingers with the privileges they enjoy   I've already learned the truth I'm the fool who believed-- the lascivious crowd on the other side of the hill imbibes in the libation of their perceptions and you are a well of sustenance for them without bottom             without end   the white dove circles you an impressive symbol to display but it doesn't coo caroo caroo it cackles cruelly as I realize it's a myth just like you yet I'm the fool who starts rumors   I'm the liar not you I found a willing ear to hear this fantasy an eager ear so very near the one attached to me….
