In Moments

..there are many that you keep next to your heart..

IN MOMENTS

In the moments before dawn and I look at your sleeping face, I am amazed at the wonder found along the contour of your cheeks; amazed at the innocence found walking smoothly along your parted lips.

In these quiet moments, laying so close, is when I catch glimpses of your winter sigh and autumn sky, and feel refreshingly alive the way snow feels melting on your tongue; or dancing freely on city streets guided only by a whimsically driven wind, propelled down from snow lined, gray nights. And it is in feeling their cold and gentle kiss upon my skin that I know you for the dream you are.

A dream as real as shadow and light and how they dance, entwined within and around each other, the way night and dawn turn into morning. Or day and twilight meander slowly into night.

You are day to my morning, as I am twilight to your night. And in between:

the earth rotates,

silence finds ways to sing,

my fingers trace the rise and fall

of your wanting breasts,

and your purring sigh

awakens a new day.
