I awaken in the morning Before the rays of light And pause for just a second To wonder at the sight I listen to your breath Sleep still claiming you And gently touch your hair My fingers running through Your skin so soft to my touch Heart still beating slow Cannot express the emotions Which then begin to flow You are my only angel From heaven unto me And I shall love no other As it will always be I used to cherish night As my favorite quiet time Until you inspired me To awake in this morning time So I will kiss you softly And cuddle you in my arms Keeping you safe in my grasp Away from all worldly harms I will listen to the sparrow Chirping his morning song And thank God for the chance I have To be with you so long So beats my heart for you My dearest now and forever Till you awaken in this light And we embrace the morning together ------------------------ I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |

Wikket, this is love written in beauty. I want that kind of inspiration to wake me in the morning. I like the flow and rhyming scheme!!! Though this stanza would sound better with the addition of one word; I will listen to the sparrow Chirping his morning song And thank God for the chance I have To be with you "for" so long Don't get me wrong, I loved it!!!  |

ah, how blessed you are to have such a love, and he to have you to write such magic for him! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Wobbly Head Bob: Well thank you. You know, I originally wrote it with the 'for' in that stanza. Guess we think alike there...  To me though, it sounded like too much. Thank you for your comments!  ellie: Yeah, it is pretty special to have someone like him in my life. I find new things to love about him every day. Thanks for commenting!  Thanks again everyone! ~~Jamie  I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |

Oh my my my....this...is a simply wonderful piece Jamie...truely...I used to got to bed at 11pm..and wake up at four am(( I know I know BUT ...I have always said I was eccentric..)) ..because the sunrises where I was at the time were so spectacular and I treasured them so....reading your poem..makes me wish i could go back though..and find someone special to share them with....deep sigh....guess I'll just have to live vicariously through your poem Sol ~Which way did They go? How many of Them were there? I MUST find Them!! I AM THEIR LEADER!!~ Author Unknown..well at least to me..:) |

Sol: I'm glad you've experienced the morning light of which I speak...and I too wish, that somewhere in the near future, you find that special someone to share them with as well! Like I said before, if I wasn't taken...hehehehe jk  Thanks for your comments Sir Sol! ~~Jamie I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |

Jamie, this is lovely. It's almost enough to make me want to wake up early, if only there were someone to share it with! I really like the new pic, btw.To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Jamie..what a tribute to the one you love. Sunrise is also my favorite time of morning..just to let your mind wander and drink in all the beauty and sounds of nature. Very very nice........Twilah (Gloria) |

Lovely work, but I've been known to stay awake all night, just to stay in this kind of moment Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

Marilyn: Well, garsh...thank you! I'm really not that photogenic...don't know how I made that picture come out well! Thank you for your comments, and no worries about the man...there's always pretend!   twilah: Why thank you! Yes, my other half liked it so well he framed it! Thank you for your comments!Moon Dust: Hey, I've been there too. In fact, one of my other poems (on my website) named 'Endless Night' explains my dwelling in the darker times! Thanks for your comments!  ~~Jamie I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |
