Waking


Alone


Aroused by dreams


Of twilight slumber


Bleeding into silent sunrise


Illuminating the stillness of the


Morning splendor


Sequined with the dawn.


 


Waking


Alone


Wanting you there


Watching me with lover’s gaze


Lying in wait for eyes to open


Smiling as you coax the wisp of


Gold from my brow


Kiss the sleep from my eyes.


 


Waking


Alone


And ever wishing


Every day a new beginning


In the safety of your embrace


Love’s reflection in your eyes


The warmth of bodies spooning


In anticipation of what is to come.

"Waking Alone" shows well how the heart and mind yearn for that special loved one and anticipate the fulfillment to come. The way you convey the physical and emotional need here is stunning. Your sensual and moving love poem brims with emotion and high romance. He must anticipate waking without you with equal need and longing. The photo you used here is perfect for this piece. It reminds me of a special place I once visited.

Taylor - So poignant and wispy... A bit of lovely if I've ever read it. Your words tell ur more than that you're good at the craft. I like the pace of this one... soft like a cautious kitten.....

I know those feelings very well, Taylor. Your verses express a universal reality that is mostly sad (at least the way I see it). Your verses are soul-stirring. Thank you for sharing this gift which clearly shares of yourself. Love and peace to you,

Regis
