The Wee Hours

~ early, early in the morning ~

I like the wee hours of morning….

 

when there is no color to distract us

black and white, motionless

       our souls

reluctant to the coldness of early winds

content in our cocoon, blanketed by the night

               

You find me in the dark and time slips away in a dream

I’m afraid to wake you

                          afraid of waking up

                                    afraid you will fade away

 

It is only when you’re gone, I understand your presence

you shelter me

you comfort me

you control me

you numb me

you could fool me…

                                                                I wouldn’t know it

 

Inevitably the sun rises, innocent and new

                                 and it is too late

 

                                                                …because I love you

' You find me in the dark and time slips away in a dream .. '

Such beautiful, sensual, incredible, inspiring words, wrapped in that tissue-wrapping style of yours. In a way, I feel like a voyeuse peeping from a shadow. but in no way dirty., Tis more in awe of what births such touches of glory!

When you write you also invite your readers to the same place. The beauty of your poems are undying romance accentuated by wonderful sense of beauty. You carve them so well like a clay artist.

Beautiful work on love. Sometimes true love does not come through until someone is away for a time and you feel the emptiness within you and that is when you know another is what completes you.

[MsJewel]

If the sun rises it to late because I'll be missing you as you walk away from my day dreams.

I could definitely pick up on the fear the speaker has... she loves him so much that she is afraid she will lose him. Great choice of words and nice format. Glad I read this :)

So gorgeous! I especially love the idea of being blanketed by night, and not wanting to wake.
