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.
