the sun is blaring into
my eyes
and all I can think about
is you
in that instant of waking up
no mistakes yet made
no coffee brewed
no sighs of the sunrise
the first thought is you
the only thing between us
were layers and layers
of skin and thin t-shirts
touching you, giving me an escape
only love can produce
I showed you
my poetry
recently all my poetry
has been about you
but I'm not complaining
because even when the
sun has set
and the stars are awake
and the moon has said hello
I will think about
you
and the layers of love
etched in my skin
and the sun will rise
the next day
with our love
again
