I awake and the day
stretches out before me
and I wonder how I will
pass the time?
I could clean.
Less clutter means less stress
and if there is one thing I need
it's less stress.
I could work.
Due dates are fast approaching
and the truth is I do enjoy the challenge
and the feeling of satisfaction afterwards.
I could read.
Just take the day and escape
to an alternate reality where people
act with purpose and in the end
it all makes sense.
I could walk out.
Just throw this life away and find another
Variety is the spice of life and in all honestly,
I've done this all before.
But as I think and stretch
like a cat rising from a nap
my hand brushes your head
and my fingers slip through your hair.
You stir slightly, your arm subconsciously
wrapping around mine, and I know what to do.
I unplug the alarm
silence my phone
hold you close
and have midmorning dreams
of nothing but your beauty
