Love Awakened

Hello my dear, my love,
I just wanted to let you know,
I’m thinking of you. I’m dreaming of you.
It’s true, I awoke,
With thoughts of you.

I saw you lying next to me,
A quiet smile embraced your face.
Your hair flowed across the pillow,
And twisted itself around my fingers,
Like a vine securing itself to a fence.
Perfume softly wrapped itself around you,
Your skin soft as the linens we shared.

My arms, they embraced you, tightly, securely.
You snuggled right up next to me, comforted, warm.
Your beautiful eyes opened, just for a moment,
But I heard everything, everything.
I love you too, more than you know.
“Go to sleep, my love,” with a gentle kiss on the forehead.

The birds sing their morning welcome,
And the sun uncovers itself.
We have not moved; our arms still embrace the other.
Your hair has now covered my face;
It irritates my nose, eyes, and mouth.
The romantic quiet of the night is over,
Again arrives a beautiful day,
That I get to spend with you, my wife,
My darling, my dove.

I was just thinking of you; love awakened me.
I thought I’d let you know.
