I watch you close
As morning pulls you from sleeps arms
And in those few waking moments I wonder
If you remember us tangled together
At midnight gripping each others hands
Cheeks flushed with lust—
And when that smile pours across your face
I feel I won’t be forgotten.
Fascinated by your eyes
Black pools of tender tides and loving glances
Lashes kissing one another in a whispering haze
I envy the bed sheets hugging your body
And the pillow cradling your head.
Crawl closer and find you radiating warmth
Filled with the glory of conquering love.
You are a constellation
Connect the dots
They all trace back to your heart beat
Listening while I trace words into your stomach with my finger tip
You are so alive :
Inhale and exhale
And I am aware and thankful of the blood pumping pulse
Echoing in my veins
Tuned into the gratitude that washes over me
And feel as vibrant as the sun streaking through our sleepy morning moment.
