The softening touch, like dawn iself,
draws open eyes and heart awakes.
Unconscious movement brings together
limbs as one while daylight breaks.
Warm breath comes from far inside
creating ripples over hair,
silver flickers, starlight sparkles.
swirling heat remaining there
like a hurricane holding in
emotions drawn from two like minds.
Closer, more, the radiant aura
clamping skin with hands entwined.
Touching gently, smoothly pinching,
forcefully lips so tightly meet.
A thousand touches, moments stand,
another place as souls they greet.
Head and body overcoming
all that holds the world outside.
For that moment, nothing else,
one being life cannot divide.
And as that half dreamt moment lingers,
meandering it's forgotten way,
it holds a shield from all around.
Holding thoughts of coming day.
The horrors of the morning news
thoughtfully attempts to blind.
Within a lifetime, time has gone.
To live beyond that moments bind.
