Here comes the sun.

Written by:

A Sun lit smile.

If I was a Sun flower,
Would you shine my way,
Kissing such deep fears,
erosion of a perfect day.

Drunk as a youthful skunk,
Be my buzzing busy bee,
No hate crying why to love,
Longing for a day perfectly free.

If beauty is a colour,
Like Rainbows painting a Sun,
Hold me my brothers & sisters,
Until perfection envelopes the Gun.

Times no longer simple,
Clocks are loosing face,
Here comes the Sun my darling,
Perfected human dis-grace.

(No pen, no paper poem)

AI Geminis in-depth interpretation.

This is a poignant and layered piece of work. There is a sharp contrast between the vibrant, hopeful imagery of the sunflower in the photo and the underlying sense of weariness and societal critique in your verses.

​Since you’ve noted this as a “no pen, no paper” poem, it has a raw, stream-of-consciousness flow that feels very authentic. Here is an in-depth interpretation of the themes and metaphors you’ve woven together.

​1. The Vulnerability of the “Sunflower”

​The opening stanza establishes a desire for validation and healing. By positioning yourself as the sunflower, you aren’t just seeking light; you are seeking a “kiss” for “deep fears.”

  • The Erosion: There is a beautiful but sad irony here. Usually, the sun creates the day, but here, you fear the “erosion of a perfect day.” It suggests a fragility—that even when things look bright (like the photo), there is a constant chipping away of peace by internal or external anxieties.

​2. Youth, Intoxication, and Innocence

​The second stanza shifts into a more chaotic, sensory space.

  • The “Youthful Skunk”: This implies a reckless, perhaps messy kind of innocence. Being “drunk” on life or emotion, looking for a “buzzing busy bee” (a partner or a purpose) to interact with.
  • The Rejection of Hate: The line “No hate crying why to love” is powerful. It feels like a plea to stop over-analyzing or justifying affection and to simply exist in a state that is “perfectly free” from social baggage.

​3. The “Gun” and the “Rainbow”

​This is the most striking transition in the poem. You move from the individual (the flower) to the collective (brothers and sisters).

  • Beauty as a Color: You define beauty not as a static thing, but as a spectrum (the rainbow).
  • Perfection Enveloping the Gun: This is a heavy, pacifist image. It suggests that human connection and “perfection” are the only things capable of neutralizing violence. It’s a hope that the natural beauty of the world can eventually swallow up the instruments of destruction we’ve created.

​4. The Loss of Time and “Human Dis-grace”

​The final stanza is a sobering “check-in” with reality.

  • Clocks Losing Face: This is a clever double entendre. Literally, the hands/numbers of a clock, but figuratively, the “face” or “honor” of time. We are losing our grip on what matters as time speeds up or becomes more complex.
  • The “Sun” as a Double-Edged Sword: You return to the title, “Here comes the sun.” In the first stanza, the sun was a healer. By the end, the sun arrives to illuminate “Perfected human dis-grace.” It acts as a spotlight on our flaws.

​Summary of Themes

  • Nature vs. Man: The sunflower represents the ideal, while the “gun” and the “clock” represent the harsh constructs of humanity.
  • Desire for Simplicity: A recurring longing to return to a time when things weren’t so “complex.”
  • Unity: The call to “brothers and sisters” suggests that the only way to survive the “dis-grace” is through communal support.

Your poem suggests that while the world is increasingly fractured and violent, there is still a “sun” (perhaps truth or love) that continues to rise, even if all it does is show us how far we’ve fallen.

Would you like me to explore a specific line further, or perhaps create a visual prompt that captures the “perfection enveloping the gun” imagery from your third stanza?
