Cycles of the Sun

By Emily Mervyn

A collection of words written over a colection of times from my beautiful but dificult mind. Emotions come like the cycle of the sun, easing from warmth and light to a cold darkness. Words pull me out of the cycle to gain perspective, to focus on the times that were good, to realize what creates these feelings in our minds. This is a collection of poems and word passages collected from my journals and phone notes, compiled with the hope that someone can gain a little feeling or perspective through my feeling and perspective.

Daylight

To Melt

Honey thighs

Kissed goodbye

By the light of the moon

Of course it’s time to bloom,

How could I not

The scent of desire lingers

Tended to by your fingers

Each limb of me

Watered and left free

To grow in the heat

The heat of you

And the sky so blue

It’s all a peach glow

Everything that I know,

But I know nothing at all

My body is a garden

There’s no time to harden

Reaching up from the soil

Vines of breath, coil

Wrapped around the moment

Canyons of feeling

Eddies of healing

Into the depths of desire

Surrounded by fire

Letting fear burn away

How could I not melt

When all I’ve ever felt

The fear of letting go,

Is gone

Take it Slow

Take it slow, honey

Let the feeling drip down your spine

A Dream

Wooden floorboards rocking from the speaker dancing in the morning light.

A gentle warm breeze rushes through the window letting the sea stained curtains flutter in the wind.

Grains of sand glistening on the floor, carried in by feet running up the hill from the beach.

Hands dancing through the air to the music as feet twist and a spatula taps in time waiting to flip the golden pancakes.

Fruit diced up beside and warm coffee in hand.

Bare legs and bare feet.

Hair wild to the wind.

The ocean pulling you in.

The breeze waking you up.

The sunlight pouring joy into your veins.

She Blinked

She looked to the sky

You’ll always be there for me, won’t you?

And the stars blinked

She saw her reflection

Moonlight glowing off the lake

You’ll always be there for me too, right?

Her reflection blinked

The Dance

We dance with it

Grasp it in our hands and twirl around it

Like the world is on fire and there is only this

Only movement to set us free

We toss it around

As though holding it too tight will pierce

Into the skin until it breaks

And drops of honey will fall

Sweet thick honey

Moving through veins

As we move through life

Limbs linger and breath pulls

Pulls you around and around

Spinning you until you can’t take it

You begin to sway instead

Continuing the dance

To the sound of the wind

The sound of the birds

The sound of the beating of your heart

To the sounds all around you

We dance with it

We dance with life until our feet burn raw

And our flesh and bones ache

An ache of bliss and wonder

What a dance we get to live

Synonyms

Life, love, laughter

They’re all synonyms aren’t they?

For the thing that pushes you further, that expands each moment into the next

The feeling that reaches into the depths of who you are

Who you want to be

What you don’t even know

And it
