~
A pale orange glow
slips past the darkness
in soft patterns
of a waking dawn
I hold you close,
nestled to my chest
watching as you sleep,
enchanted by your beauty
Slow tempo’d breathing
lulls me sweetly as
your eyelids flutter,
gradually opening
You see me and smile,
that beautiful smile
I look forward to each day,
I return the gesture
I kiss you tenderly,
feeling my lips melt
into yours as my heart
once again skips a beat
“Good morning beautiful”
I whisper as I kiss you again
then sigh, gazing upon you,
knowing I am a fortunate man
And I just lie there
wide awake and in love
at the start of another
*wonderful day
Good morning Beautiful
