And All Before Our Awakening

And All Before Our Awakening

 

Did you hear me

just then

check my breath ..

Just to see

if you were still

breathing ..

And did you see,

the corners

of my lips move

due north ..

Before forming

twin arches

and the broadest

of smiles ..

No of course not,

my darling ..

But I assure you,

they did

marry and match

those subtle

shaped brows

of yours,

while you were

obviously

dreaming my love ..

So did you by

any chance feel

my pulse and my

heart both

racing, to be first

to greet you

come morning ..

Again not,

I fear, so where

were you

then my dear ..

And pray whose

gentle

eyelash flutter

did wake us both

from our so

very deep slumber ..

On the occasion

of this,

our first truly

shared morning ..
