Lady Sunshine by Mario Ramirez

O lady Sunshine,
she came my way,
a risking too much,
she begged me to touch so I prodded and she lauded the feel.

Hey, hey, hey, you know that this is just way to unreal.

So let's go away,
to Wonderland,
to that place where the trees don't stand,
the space where the ocean meets the land.
Well I cried me a river, my lady Sunshine,
and I thought of the fine sandy grains ticking,
and I thought I'm protected by the dying rays of light licking
around the edges of your feet-
humming and tapping to the sweet sound of my beat.

O lady Sunshine, did you know that you brighten my days?
O lady Sunshine, did you know that you frighten away-
the bad feelings of decay?
O lady Sunshine, did you know that you lighten up my darkened pathway?
O lady Sunshine, did you know that you tighten up at the words that I say?

O lady Sunshine, we're in the clear my dear,
O lady Sunshine, the worst of the worst has passed along with the things we no longer have to fear.
O lady Sunshine, don't you worry, we'll carry on, Wonderland is just so near from this dark place here.
O lady Sunshine, lend me your love, O lady Sunshine, send me up above, O lady Sunshine, will you spend our time until the very end?

O lady Sunshine, creep through my dreams.
O lady Sunshine, peep through my shutters and beams
O lady Sunshine, that river I cried turned into a stream,
gentle and flowing like the sound of your voice
O lady Sunshine, you know that this was never my choice,
O lady Sunshine, I'm risking my life, O lady Sunshine won't you be my wife?
O lady Sunshine, I'm tisking at the strife,
O lady Sunshine, I'm rife with fear,
that you've mistaken my water for beer.
O lady Sunshine, I'm not so cold, I'm not so bitter,
O lady Sunshine, may I be so bold to say that you don't glow, but glitter?

Well you know that I'm Dark,
and you know that I lost my mind that one rainy night at the park,
And O lady of mine, O lady Sunshine,
I think you should know that you define,
the way I combine the salty tears of brine of mine
and the faulty smears of thine.

O lady Sunshine, I know that you are dying,
O lady Sunshine, I grow just so I can keep trying,
O lady Sunshine, stow away with me one more time,
O lady Sunshine, blow away these fallacies of mine.

O lady Sunshine, I want you to know that in the long run we'll be just fine.

Your poem was really nice and very sweet. This was my favorite line out of the whole poem I combine the salty tears of brine of mine
and the faulty smears of thine". I love how you wrote out emotions so well. I also loved the personifications you used. Keep up the good work.
