Listen to poem:

Until morning calls

Your eyelids close when you're wrapped around me What are they painting behind the canvas? That mine see; A portrait of a tortured soul released by you affectionately? I'd draw myself in, but the imagery doesn't fit; no tailor in me, can I dress you in poetry? Tepid water, you're an ocean complete, filled with steeped chamomile You set the bar a line above my step below; I am calmed by whom you reveal A morning dove of pain relief! Destroyer, of all my disbelief! When you sigh, it's the sound a lilac petal makes as it falls Come here, you; while I enjoy the scent until morning calls

:) There really is no higher compliment that someone can give. Like telling another, that they have evoked emotions. Thank you very much Paige! Honored by you A.S.
