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!

Sensuous and soulful, you seem to have captured the very essence of what it feels like to love someone unconditionally, when it almost seems out of our control. Simply magnificent!

Julie, you've captured that moment when the night seems magical and mysterious, while all the world sleeps and only the two lovers exist in it. I love this one a lot.

Aren't "the wee hours of morning" when you wake up and have to go to the toilet pretty badly? I'm not sure I could write a poem about it, but you sure did, and it's lovely.

My God! Julie you are so, so romantic, this is probably one of your best and that is saying an awful lot given your ability at romantic poetry, I have to love this and keep it in my library, like a rare pearl to take out and admire every day, those wee small hours can be so beautiful :)

such passion and love...this reminds me of the morning scene in Romeo and Juliet...."it's the lark, the herald of the morn"
so unfortunate...they have one night together---and then...the parting is such sweet sorrow.

[MsJewel]

I always loved that morning scene... thank you Jacob :) Julie

They say the person you think of before you close your eyes and when you first open your eyes is the love of your life
I believe at these two particular moments in time
You are temporarily suspended
Your brain is taking a backseat
and your soul is alive
The wisest words produce themselves
And the truth of all your emotions surface
Bringing about true love

sorry for writing so much
I am moved by your poem

Awesome
