You sit in
Front of me
My own one
Cup of coffee
Anticipated and steamy
Intoxicating and awakening
I warm my
Hands around you
I sip you
Slowly savoring you
Your robustness and
Slight bitterness as
You cascade down
My throat and
Into my heart
You my love
Warm me each
Morning from the
Inside out making
Me smile then
A home cooked
Meal after a
Long journey you
Are to me
Robust warm and
Filling tasty savory
And filling welcomed
Hearty and satisfying
Always desired rarely
Enjoyed paired with
The wine of
Us we sit
And enjoy nightly
The meal that
We are together
Oh Lord your
Eyes are deep
Earthly rich pools
In which I
Dip and plant
My heart in
Their soil watching
Your smiles grow
Like sunflowers spreading
Across the plains
Of your cheeks
Your teeth as
White as a
Harvest moon guides
Me to bed
And your open
Arms envelope me
Like the airy
Limbs of the
Rivers weeping willows
Now dreams passed
Moving swiftly like
Gale force winds
Knocking down power
In darkness I
Sit finally hearing
The birds chirping
A new day
As the sky
Begins to glow
A warm blue
Oh I know
That dreams only
Ever stay asleep
And now awake
Day is true
Salvation has come
In this daybreak
Awakened and sweating
Unable to shake
The demon ravens
From my minds
Canopy they roost
Hiding in dreams
Which linger like
The bitter taste
Of some pill
I am reminded
That my dreams
Can break through
My slumber like
Thieves’s flashlights searching
For my sanity
Finding they crush
Rip and steal
Leaving me empty
Hollow and weeping
Until I turn
And remember you
My one reality
Bringing me back
To my world
Once again safe
Unable to sleep
Watching you breathe
Slowing my heart
To beat yours
Peace at last
Comes to me
My one anchor
Amidst stormy seas
Mooring me you
In safe harbor
