As the dawn breaks through and the first pinkish light
glows upon your skin
I teasingly pleasure you awake with my mouth and as your eyes open
that contented gaze is all I need for my day to begin

Everything after that seems to catch fire
a slow smoldering burn and all the hotter for that reason
Like someone lit a match and started a thousand forest fires
right in the middle of the dry season

Now descended from our blazing heights we lay holding each other
a grin lights up your face like a open window with no world beyond this room
we try and catch our breath and procrastinate as much as we can
because we know we will both have to leave soon
