The day starts
Freshly like the
Intoxicating aroma of
Eggs bacon coffee
Awakening me from
Sweet dreams of
The arms of
My past lovers
Shielding me like
Armor from the
Ravages of life
Messages arrive from
You like long
Awaited letters tickling
Me like that
Cold quarry lake
Outside of Pittsburgh
Where we cautiously
Dipped our toes
Before leaping headlong
Just like sipping
A cup of
Joe before work
