SUNSHINE

This was actually a writing prompt that I did awhile ago to describe a hot day without using the words sun, hot, warm, steam, sweaty or humid. It has been so humid lately that I thought I would share.

A yellow ball of fire
Wrapping my entire body in heat
Skin aflame
Salty moisture seeping from my pores
Running into my eyes
Burning

Ice
So cool to the touch
A chill runs through my system
From my fingertips
To the the top of my head
Back down to the tips of my toes

I rub a cube slowly across my forehead
Absorbing all of its coolness
I place another on my tongue
Drinking in the shivery liquid 
Allowing it to trickle down the side of my mouth
Onto my chest
Mixing with my body fluids and oils
Then I am dry
Again

A yellow ball of fire
Wrapping my entire body in heat
Skin aflame
Salty moisture seeping from my pores
Running into my eyes
Burning
