THE SUN HAS NOT YET RISEN

Sharing a very early morning with someone special ....

The sun has not yet risen,

And the  rooster is still asleep.

Moon hidden behind a cloud,

Now decides to take a peek.

 

The rabbits are a scurrying

The owl is saying  “hoo.”

Must have woke that rooster up

For I hear a “cocka doodle doo.”

 

The ears on my dog perk up

As he hears a coyotes yelp.

Is it glad to be here?

Or is it a cry for help?

 

Now the sounds of raindrops

Fill the cool night air.

All the sounds once heard

Are like they weren’t there.

 

The stillness is so eerie.

Nary a shadow can I see.

Only sounds now heard,

Raindrops dripping from a tree.

 

Then I feel a touch .

A hand is close to me.

My love now has joined me

In this peace and tranquility.

 

Then you grasp my hand.

Squeeze it oh so tight.

We now share together

The wonders of this night.

 

Am a man so very proud

That your right here by my side.

Be it  sunshine or stormy weather

I know you will never hide.

 

The lord has been good to me.

Sometimes, why I never know.

Your smile brightens up my day

When I'm blue or  feeling low.

 

So come with my dear

Let us enjoy this time.

We can cuddle close.

Our bodies they will chime.

 

I will hold you tightly.

Then whisper in your ear.

Tell you that I love you.

And you have nothing here to fear.

 

We will be making love

Till the storm passes by.

Then when the sun comes out,

We will give one more try.

 

That's how much I love you

And want you by my side.

Know you feel the same for me.

Your feeling you do not hide.

 

I don't really need to tell you

How you have changed my life.

The Lord knew what he was doing

When he sent you to my wife.

Reviews

[Donna Lorenz]

Kat was right. It is very well written. Loved it.

[Kat Collins]

Very sweet and compelling...a romantic at heart.

Small typo - "Went he sent you to my wife." Should it be "When" and should it say "When he sent you to be my wife?" Or does that ruin the rhthym? As it is, it sounds as though you are sending away your love to your wife. Don't think that's your intent!

[Kenneth The Poet]

Love the rhyme and rhythm over every stanza here.

[light and ashes]

This seems like another version of another one of your poems. I like this one very much as well. Its very sweet and heart felt :]

[Vestigial Appendage]

Well written, good work.

[Raven Starhawk]

Another well composed gem.
