Love Awakened

Someday...


Good morning,
...our first morning.
I look at you lying next to me
I think to myself how can this be?

Did I make you feel alright,
did I satisfy you last night?
You slumber like an angel,
your face is so innocent.

Your shoulders under the covers
move slightly, like you are stirring.
Your exhale is like a kitten purring
and your breath is so warm on my cheek.

I watch intently as you open your eyes
and then I see your smile.
I am transported to another world
where angels do live.

You move closer and kiss me
your lips melt mine
and I realize this is not a dream
but love awakened.
