Morning and Peace

Poem #269 • Floating gently in air of deep rested breath

A veil of angelic sheen
floating gently in air of deep rested breath
greeting my eyes as they excitedly open at the dawn of the day
with each moment before you rise even my soft whispers are taken away

And when you grin
those perfect dimples and the radiant twinkle in your eyes
almost make me forget that there are other things to do
We work so well side by side
that leaving for any length of time gets me to labor fervently so that I can see your face again
Even the wind in our hearts seems to lift this veil of light between us
“Welcome, today is a lovers’ day, and so each one goes.” might be what the wind would say if it could speak.
For the cheeks that arise with your lips
I can see their contented bliss
and when you look out towards the horizon
you say with each sweet ascendant mourn
“I can only see the sun in front of us, and you light up my life even more than that. Are you my slice of Heaven?”

I am honored to say I have found someone with which I can declare, saying I love you is not enough. It’s just the beginning of what we share.
