Morning Blues

A welcome sight, she says to me.
Each day she waits to see me rise,
wondering if my thoughts would pair
with hers, as she looks in my eyes.

The fogged up mirror, steamed in moist
belies the strength of heart, reflect.
Disheveled from the nighttimes twist
when dreams once held, now disconnect.

I watch for shadows, yours and mine,
replaying fantasies mistakes.
I test the waters, tepid feel
halfheartedly sustaining, aches.

She leans in closer, meets my touch,
fingers tracing lines of stress.
Each syllable she whispers soft,
echoes back in fond caress.

We miss the words he use to serve,
a morning's meal to fill the need.
We hunger now, for lack of eyes
on morning blues, we use to feed.

The smile is there, though slighter now,
tilted, wondering if you see
reflections in your mirror, musing
fantasies, in blue of me.

oh WOW, this is amazing, beautiful.. I love it!
though it makes me ache a little. In the mornings after I remind myself to breath and realise I have to move.. my thoughts are "not another day!" but its not all bad I suppose.. there still is a tilted smile :-)
Enjoyed much!

Always, Alyssa

Nicely done and very pretty, as always.
