you wake
vibrations beside your head
effortlessly rising to meet your day
when i wake beside you
and reach out for you
i catch your arching back
as your body is moving forward and away
out of the warmth we've created
hours and hours of our bodies
beside each other
creating
heat
and
energy
it surprises me that i can close my eyes at all with the nearness of you
dancing in and out of my dreams
hands holding
your world in mine
i sleep
like i've slept beside you forever
complete
fulfilled
at peace
full
of
ease
you disappear
then return
sliding back into the warmth that waits for you
you murmur
and hold on tightly
i rise eventually
to be the sun
i rise to meet you
and learn what living inside your world means
gentle
sweet
and intentional
i rise to be your sun again
you rise to be my air
i breathe
you
you breathe
me
and we hold on tightly
to what we've found
so perfect
so beautiful
you are
to
me...
