Heat that Kills
when the sun burns hot
shadow is a great place to be
stay out of the limelight
too many eyes on me
when the heat is scorching
burn you up inside
better to screen yourself
venture out during the night
harmful rays can kill you
start a cancer that can't be cured
so be wary when going out
no matter how delicious the lure
**The photo was taken two days before find out I had a melanoma!!

This hits me hard as it's something I have dealt with on a personal level... constantly apply that sun screen and you're right stay in the shade.
Me too Tim!
It doesnt take much to be too much!
Thanks for the read buddy!

IRL, I prefer the dark. The sun makes big bags of mostly water look like dried grapes.
In the metaphorical world
I prefer moderation and balance.
(pssst....i know exactly what You refer to and i could have sworn I told You to stop practicing this medium-stuff)

Now Tallen, I know you are wise! But I promise you things are not always as they seem!

Your poem provides a public service. Best of luck in beating melanoma. Fingers crossed. Don't forget the eyes, always wear shades.

Always make sure to take care of yourself so southern shadows may meet to come the northern sky.

This poem hit me and now I know why. Deep and painful. But after the storm comes the sun.
