Minute by painful minute the clock moves closer to releasing its screeching voice, its once every twenty-four call to end my early morning larceny.

In the quiet of night I listen to you breathe
A soft and subtle rhythm that soon dictates my own

Each passing tic of the hands
Reveals more and more of the silhouette
Of the temple at my side
Every smile
Every blink
Every beat of my heart
A mere pittance to all I dream to lay in homage at your feet

Now, like yesterday
Like the day before
And the day before that
I want to wake you
To take you
To taste those lips
That exhale so much life
To breathe in everything you breathe out
To feel my body

S
..L
....I
......D
........E

Into yours
And have the love
I crave so dearly
Fully encompass me
Cocoon me
Shelter and revive me

But, as the light
Filters into the window
I stop my hand by the thickness
Of an eyelash
Just above your brow
And trace in air
Along the bridge of your nose
Down its length
Past your lips and over your chin
I contemplate each little curve

Each rise and fall
Of my finger
Another journey led
By your endless beauty
An expedition to find another unknown
Part of you
This is what keeps me alive
This is what keeps me sane
This is what I steal

Little moments of time that I collect and
Build into a shrine
For you in my heart
The heart you have freed
The heart that belongs only
To you

For this morn the clock moves too quickly
It is time to end my nightly pursuit
I reach and stop the unkind noise
From the rude awakening it so cruelly
Intends to deliver

Instead I wake you with
A soft kiss
On your cheek
And anxiously await that first mornings smile
Contented beyond all
That you’ll ever know
That I, for at least this one more day
Have felt the warmth
Of your soul
And danced under the blanket of your heart
And it was brought to me
Courtesy of seeing you

In the light

Very nice

beautiful

That is one of the most tender and touching things I have read ... the whole piece is a delight to my senses ...


"I stop my hand by the thickness
Of an eyelash"


ohhhhhhhhhh ...I am such a girl

????? why are you still single ?????




S

ahhh stef um i ummm that is i ehh um well i have no answer for that...

Yes, beautiful is an apt description for this one. The still single question - Ohhh Kace, look at the possibilities for a poem in that one! Comparing the "face" of love to a clock face. Moments and opportunities ticking by because they're not quuuuu-ITE right or it's just not the "right time" for such and such. Then too does "time" have anything to do with love (beyond serendipity of two)? Love compared to taste buds and restaurant menus (a meal for life, so to speak - Seven courses - if memory serves). Ha - a palatable (oooo, fun with food or paint or people and their emotions to mix and mingle and create new recipes or hues of enjoyment).

Errrr-uh-sorry - thinking out loud again-------POPCORN!-----wanders off mumbling about popcorn floating on morning coffee and wondering what the PER-f-ECT analogy would be ---- deddle lee dee (ooo-mario brothers music adding a new twist as I ramble).......................................................................
