This Morning

Wake up

Sun’s up

Light-hearted rays

Through dust

Eyes adjust

Not familiar

So slow

Blink forever

Uncurl toes

Lengthen limbs

Starfish fingers

Finding grins

Domestic purr

Dimly familiar

This morning

Some adventure

Under me

Dreamy Clouds

Lacking fear

Feeling sound

Human self

Another day

Messy hair

Time escapes

Needing coffee

Sudden urge

Mental reminders

Stressful work

But this

This morning

Something’s different

Foreign calling

No stress

Oddly delicious

No alarm

Tastes freshest

Sipping relaxation

For once

Leaving behind

Tired puns

Look over

Vision clears

Forest eyes

Reality appears

Unbelievably sweet

Impossibly solid

Magically me

Wonderfully honest

Two bodies

Single beating

Sudden wanting

Lungs rejuvenating

Tug covers

Squirm around

Cuddle closer

Embracing mouths

First awakened

Not alone

Fresh spirit

Warmest home

By you

Sharing skin

Now me

Life begins
