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 ..
