Greet the Day

I long to greet the day 
beside you, 
curled into the hollow of 
your spine; 
as sunlight tickles claws 
into the curtains, 
smile and beg the gods to 
make you mine. 
Breathe the sullen perfume 
of our love, 
haunting from the spider webs 
of night; 
freeze each precious moment in 
my heart, 
remember, hold you dear and 
hold you tight.

This was completely beautiful. The construction, the images are wonderful. And the raw sentiment was golden, the desire to belong, to have, to share. The simpleness was perfect, just right for the piece. just the small things are enough to make one whole. Gorgeous write.
