morning sunlight shining,

rising from linen horizon;

breaking the bonds

of moonbathed bodies

and lamplit lovers

her smile

her breath

her hair,

everywhere

(i love the cool fresh breeze of waking

and that first ray of daylight)

and her voice is like the early biirdsongs...

and the day brightens with hours

of laughter and hopes and dreams

and promises... chapels, and books,

and houses...

the new growth of spring.

boquets of the earth

sprinkle petals at her footsteps

as she passes by in

holy white gown

and trimmed in delicate

silver lace

a lilly in my valley

her face

her scent

my flower

stars of the night sky reflect dimly

that twinkle in your painted eyes

when the silken veil falls to the floor

and passion drinks of milky smooth skin

my heart best

my pulse

her lullaby

our song

and the circle turns one more time

a week of days crammed

in a blink of history and buried

in the blankets of a lonely bed

so i lie alone

on a still, quiet pillow

wrestling with old dreams

and waiting for sunrise

.

Lonely is the man with memories instead of richness of life.

You bring me up so high, and then shoot me down to memories and waiting for sunrise.  How sad.
