Morning By The Sea

Morning by the Sea

 

Enveloped in a blanket of soft golden hues

She lies unaware of my silent adoration.

Her beauty simply astounds me

In awe I lie breathless beside her

 

As she lays so peacefully in her slumber

I wonder if she knows how she completes me

Ever so gently I brush the hair from her face

As the sweet aroma of her perfume graces the air

 

Eagerly awaiting the smile I thought only angels possess

I place a single red rose on the soft white pillow beside her

As I open the sliding door the music of the waves serenade her

Suddenly warm ocean breezes fill the curtains with dance

 

Momentarily lost in the colorful array of the sunrise

I feel the magic of her embrace as she wraps her arms around me

With her chin on my shoulder I feel the warmth of her cheek on mine

Softly she whispers in my ear “It’s beautiful isn’t it?”

 

Turning to face her I am once again stunned by her beauty

Gently I kiss her awaiting lips while still wrapped in her embrace

My response to her sparks a childlike curiosity in her eyes

With pure appreciation I answer “Yes you are”

 

Now I am complete for I know what true love is

Be it for a lifetime or just a fleeting moment

I realize it is a treasure only a few are graced enough to possess

Its priceless value will stay with me forever
