Poem.

A little something for the august_writing community, that I thought I'd post here as well.



My Sunbeam

Hair like fine silk, auburn in the glinting light
Grows sweaty against my arm.
Eyes like the sun through an old glass bottle
Hold my gaze with their intensity.
A pink mouth, pursed, flanged,
Sucks sustenance from my breast.
She smiles and falls away,
Grinning, toothless, with a powerful secret
She knows I share.
I do.
Love.
Not extravagant, not overbearing,
But just as much as she needs,
Just when she needs it.
My Claire.
