Sitting here now
Basking in the
Over glow of
Last night I’m
Immersed in you
Like a sudsy
Hot bath my
Cares whisked away
Our lips met
For the first
Time many times
Last night tethering
Our emotions like
A dirigible moored
To tall poles
Now not only
Do I have
Your words but
The taste of
You with me
Early this morning
I don’t remember
What falling in
Love feels like
But when I
Can hear a
Hummingbirds wings fluttering
Or the sound
Of your smile
Spreading across your
Face I’m reminded
That there’s something
Going on now
That I must
Remember come let
Me drink from
Your cup and
Write you poetry
The day starts
Warm like my
Mother’s kitchen after
Cooking the skies
Like a gray
Woolen overcoat patched
With red thread
The trees green
Fade into black
As emerald lawns
Await the pups
Footprints all is
Quiet except for
The nervous bark
Of a small
Dog alerting the
Owner like a
Doorbell as my
Coffee steams and
Warms this morning
Oh distance you
Sleep miles from
Me which is
Too far even
The inches between
Us seem like
Oceans come let
Us moor our
Boats to the
Same dock and
Scrape together as
The seas press
Us tightly together
We bathe in
The smiles of
Each other swim
In the laughter
Splashing each other
With jokes and
Teasing bring each
Other the calm
Of embrace and
The affection of
Kisses be with
Me tonight and
Let’s create our
World of passion
