Predawn breeze tickles the blinds
their laughter rouses our drowsy eyes
ginger light trickling in all around
this pillow shared by two warm spoons
Deft fingers caress my bared skin
tracing paths along the treasure map
revealing secret places, blissful vistas
before beckoning a headlong plunge
Eyelids reclose as faces gently turn
lips nibble down my tingling nape
our bodies press then melt together
as once again I tangle up in you
Tender entwinement binds yet releases
greedy mouths reclaim each exhale
only to give back even deeper
becoming the only air we will ever need
