As I near re-entry to my world each morning
I am eased into awake with-in your arms.
Still drifting 'tween the vales of dreams and waking,
elusive yet are details and alarms-

The sleep falls from my eyes with your body next to mine-
Rousing, I'm receptive. You're my rhythm, you're my rhyme.
The new day waits to penetrate it's orders in my head.
For just these precious moments there is nothing but this bed.

The clock too soon blares it's rude announcement.
No longer can we hope to stave off day-
and so I'll take the comfort of my waking
and let your love sustain me on my way...

I hold the thought of you in quiet content
as I slay my daily dragons, fight my fight-
I know when all is said and all is cared for,
I'll surrender in your arms again, tonight-

------

comfort....
Elizabeth

Aside from it being a well crafted poem -good rhyme scheme, flow, and word choice - it smoked with gentle passion- quite beautiful. Like charlie, I too hope it was you who have found comfort and love in someelse's arms . If not-its one grand dream....

my warmest

comfort and cession
Ahhhhhh! The absolute heaven of this...Although I have to say, my friend, that while reading this and entering into its world, I imagined the sleep fall from another part of my body besides my eyes, but that's just me... ;-)

This particular topic, this intimate professing of love, is, to me, poetry in and of itself and I don't think to write it up, because I usually find that my words can't make it more perfect than it already is.

But I'm glad you wrote it up, Elizabeth! You have managed very well to allow it to retain all of its beauty, truth and purity.

IMO, a real bed is a bed that has on its sheets that smell of the testosterone of my guy, eh?

"You're my rhythm". Indeed!

Thank you!
Lucie

emaks 're-entry'
Elizabeth-
Good to read VOICE again..

Did you mean: 'its' orders..'its' rude announcement...no big thing

Enjoyed,

rhyme and rhythm
This poem made me think of the observer as longingly detached. Not in any vicarious form - just someone wanting the same for herself.

The daily dragons line is perfect - and not just because I love dragons; it's perfect because, for me, dragons are sensual beasts that horde what is most beautiful. Ever known a dragon not in love with its stash of gems?

Beautiful Poem.

Typos are irrelevant and human.
