Love Poem: Sunshine

Sunshine

Shining your light on the clock as if to offer a begging child a loaf of bread.
Always out of reach, grasping tightly for fear of loss.
*
Regal.
*
Antagonizing the clock, begging for darkness. For the sun’s kiss to set behind the
Hills. Seconds passing by, like a hammer pounding a nail into stone. Tick, tick, tick, tick.

Goodnight. Goodbye.
*
Encompassing all but the deepest, darkest crevices. 
Reaching every darkest secret.
*
Keep shining bright, sun in the sky, into a new day, full of new hopes. 
Even the clock has hopes for his time, to bask in the sunshine.
