Before Dawn

the pillow he lies on is occupied. when his form stirs, i am likewise aroused. our sheets sacred silhouettes, our shared blanket - molds and drapes, like a greek toga. our shared yawns draw a chuckle before dawn. warmness of our marriage bed, oneness of entwined ivy vines. we are kindling, fueled by memories, experiences, where we have grown - through highs and lows. like fitful sleep - tossing and turning, tears on twin pillows, transforms coal into diamonds of contentment and peace, harmony and love. oh so close! so trusted! so bonded! lip-locked in love Kim Rodrigues ©2017
