as the morning light slowly fills the room

eager thoughts bind my mind

your features

once covered by the darkness

now banked in light

lay before

soft—

small wishes bring me closer

your smell

the feel of your supple warmth against my body

smooth caresses

lingering touches

touches soaked in thought

hope,

love,

four our future

for all the mornings yet to come

where the light of the day slowly leaks in

uncovering what lay between us

uncovering—

forevermore

that you belong to me

and i you
