The next morning

you rouse me at dawn

to reassure me yesterday

wasn't a dream

your touch seeps deep

within my soul

and lures me to your eyes

you tell me something

your lips have said before

but my ears receive your voice

in virginal bliss and warmth

though our souls have done

all of this many times

our bodies haven't and quiver

under the weight of the experience

you reluctantly rise

and ask me how I like my coffee

I cease the reply to make you pause

to hold you in your stance and gaze

to keep you in this moment

just a little longer
