since my
morning smile
has awaken
in your eyes,

my heart has
rolled
over on it's
belly
to expose
it's tender
side to you.

and hopefully
this will
someday be
how it has
always been.

you are here
so full and
simple in these
poems that
I write
to you.

and I
know that
you know
it.

it is
the moment
in time
that we
own,

and now
the hard
places in
my life
quietly in
the black
still of night
melt away

with a simple
hello and

back again.

we embrace
this sky
like two
birds  taking

flight.
