Eating sun

Eating sun

At sunset, looking deep into mine
He said, between us, my sunshine

Let us ,gobble up the sun
Come on,it will be fun

So I melted by degrees ,in his arms
The eaten sun turned into liquid warmth

That spread it's fiery passion in our veins
Our very breath with longing, stained

When we opened our eyes the sun was gone in traces of pink
Leaving behind a seared memory of a kiss, in indelible ink.

P.S. This poem came to me as a response to a prompt on romance in a poetry group and a poster for a movie, I saw somewhere. The protagonists were about to kiss with the sun in the background, hence the title .
