Love's Embrace

Love's Embrace

Pre-dawn light peeks
Softly through windows
Lightening shadows to gray
Leaving silhouettes as eyes
Open in drowsy heaviness
Only to realize you observe
Every detail in the quiet.

A long masculine arm raises 
The blanket in silent welcome
As we begin a well-rehearsed 
choreography of body meeting body.

Naked breast to chest, 
we lie in love's warm embrace.
Dark fingers stroke blonde hair
As feminine fingers trace through
a mat of soft crispness over chest.
Occasional kisses rain down--soft; sweet
As relaxed sighs whisper
through our intimate cocoon of comfort.

Deep contentment spreads 
With every swish and beat..
Tha thump- tha thump- tha thump- tha thump
Beneath my ear as our hearts match rhythm. 

Two souls intertwined in the joy of being
Commingled bodies 
At rest
At peace
As the pre-dawn light peeks softly 
Through our bedroom window

What a perfect way to greet the morning -- darkness into light, sleepiness giving way to all the possibilities that a day of love can bring -- I delightful write, enjoyed the warmth of the moment. 7
