~

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

Finally,
Deleted.
But not all.

One- I couldn't,
It stood to tall.
In my heart,
It took it's place
And
When I saw your face
I too embraced,
The happiness that filled- that day.

As the seagulls flew astray.
As the clouds went away.
As the warmness was there to stay.
You said you loved me- that day.

We hopped, skipped, and laughed.
As the breeze chilled my spine,
I remember looking at you
And thanking God that you were mine.

All the way out
To the edge we went.
I'll never forget all the time
That we spent.

We looked at each other
Then back to the sea.
The Yin to my yang
it was meant to be.
As sun drifted lower into the horizon
It was time to go.
But we weren't going home together - that day.

As I drove you to the airport
We cried together.
And at that moment I thought
We would die together.

I raised my eyes and caught your gaze.
And
When I saw your face
I too embraced,
The sadness that filled- that day.

Forever my lover.
Forever my friend.
Until- that day.

ive smashed
every
single
******* mirror

*im so tired of seeing you
when i look at me
