Poetry About the SunSunbathingClose your eyes And let the engulfing sun Melt the tensions of the swollen bones Into the molten colossal: The world Globbed incandescent, Eyeballs Hotter than coffee, Lungs Radiantly saturated. Copyright © 2005 Hugh Cook Sheltered by concrete Sufficient against nuclear attack. The sun is a wet rag, breathable. Dishcloths, dishcloths. Paperwork arrayed in legions. Asbestos heat. A siren howls against the air conditioning. Midnight is a countdown for morning. It is a myth, George tells us - The sun has nothing to do With the mounting oceans, The cracking ice, The mountains sweeping away villages. It is all in the mind. I seem to remember A bright beach white with the silica sands Singing the sun into brightness As my naked feet Tranced across the surface In a foreverness of blank heat and ocean. But perhaps that, too, Is and was and will be All in the mind. The sun song a brief lapse of sanity.

Songs About the SunYou Are My Sunshine (This song was sung by different artistes, including Nat King Cole and was also once versed in 'ska' version) The other night, dear As I lay dreaming I dreamt that you were by my side Came disillusions When I awoke, dear You were gone, And then, I cried
You are my sunshine My only sunshine You make me happy When skies are grey You'll never know, dear How much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you And make you happy If only you'd do the same If you would leave me How it would grieve me Nevermore I'll breathe your name..
Sun In My Mouth by Bjork I will wade out Till my thighs are steeped In burning flowers I will take the sun in my mouth And leap into the ripe air Alive with closed eyes To dash against darkness In the sleeping curves of my body Shall enter fingers Of smooth mastery With chasteness of sea-girls Will I complete the mystery Of my flesh Will I complete the mystery Of my flesh My flesh Sun child by THE VINES Sun child
You're a sun child Awoken by the spirit of the day Will I wild Speaking so mild Forgot about the engine in the rain Don't let it bring you down For us that ain't the way We'll keep our lives reserved For those who have to pray But I can't Sun child You're a sun child Awoken by the spirit of the day Will I grow wild Speaking so mild Forgot about the engine in the rain Don't let it bring you down For us that ain't the way We'll keep our lives reserved For those who have to pray But I can't |
