Dawn



Dawn

Morning light
breaks thru
last night's storm clouds

You sigh,
roll over,
and the sheet
leaves your body.

I drink in your beauty
with my eyes
silently
adoring you
listening to your
soft, slow breathing

I move stealthily
my lips
trail along your
delicate curves
tasting the salty
remnants of last night's
exertions

We matched the
Gods' exhortations
with our own
collapsing before dawn
exhausted

I recall gathering you near,
then nothing 'til now
Love's amnesia
erasing any dreams

I prefer this
waking pleasure
until you rouse.
