Sunlight...

Beautiful... Yet as the bright and shining sun, I'm unable to gaze upon her.

Indirectly, yet directly into her eyes are mine intertwined

Not looking within from without, yet intrigued by her mind.

What lies beneath the lengthy locks and curls stemming from her roots?

May my fingertips massage her scalp, and stimulate her mood...

It's best I spend the night in her mind, and not inside her womb.... for now.

I'm lost in the softness of her skin, still smooth in it's imperfectness,

The structure of her nose, her cheeks, her lips I'm apt to kiss,

Leading down to her neck... What lies beyond, is among the stars,

That which I'd dare not disrespect, for she was formed by God.

Sunlight...

"I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust at a young woman. For what has God above chosen for us? What is our inheritance from the Almighty on high? Isn't it calamity for the wicked and misfortune for those who do evil? Doesn't he see everything I do and every step I take? “Have I lied to anyone or deceived anyone? Let God weigh me on the scales of justice, for he knows my integrity. If I have strayed from his pathway, or if my heart has lusted for what my eyes have seen, or if I am guilty of any other sin, then let someone else eat the crops I have planted. Let all that I have planted be uprooted. “If my heart has been seduced by a woman, or if I have lusted for my neighbor’s wife, then let my wife serve another man; let other men sleep with her. For lust is a shameful sin, a crime that should be punished. It is a fire that burns all the way to hell. It would wipe out everything I own. “If I have been unfair to my male or female servants when they brought their complaints to me, how could I face God? What could I say when he questioned me? For God created both me and my servants. He created us both in the womb. “Have I refused to help the poor, or crushed the hopes of widows? Have I been stingy with my food and refused to share it with orphans? No, from childhood I have cared for orphans like a father, and all my life I have cared for widows....... “Have I looked at the sun shining in the skies, or the moon walking down its silver pathway, and been secretly enticed in my heart to throw kisses at them in worship? If so, I should be punished by the judges, for it would mean I had denied the God of heaven. “Have I ever rejoiced when disaster struck my enemies, or become excited when harm came their way? No, I have never sinned by cursing anyone or by asking for revenge." - Job 31:1-18, 26-30 (NLT)
