the second sun.

love that doesn't blind.

Of Ephraim

You are a walking contradiction.

Because when you smile the world sees it's second sun -

The night's reign is eradicated when you speak and sing

And yet,

Despite this second sun's radiance

In it's presence,

The world is not repelled by it's heat,

But drawn and even propelled towards it.

This second sun is tattoed inside my eyelids.

It follows my every step with no shadows,

In my dreams it is my navigator.

In my nightmares it is my North Star,

On my sickbed it was my saviour.

This second sun is tattooed inside my eyelids.

Even if the negativity of the world made me blind,

I'd be able to touch and feel it's love like Braille.

Love is tattooed inside my eyelids,

Because love doesn't blind,

For it made me see.

E.K. - October 2022
