Soulful Breath

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
