It's You ~ All You

it's you...all you...

up early before the dawn

rub my eyes awake

unstifled yawn

peruse my room tinged with soft grey light

darkness becoming shadow

after deep night

i rise and stretch

early arisen

in a world yet asleep

heeding keurig hum

as my coffee brews

aroma fills my room and soul

with morning expectation

cream swirls

like flames in the dark

mesmerizing for a moment

until each blends with the other

its heat in my hand pleasing

yet another way

i think of you

as i stare into space

and sip myself alert

i cannot help but think of you

where you are...still asleep

the dawn has yet to kiss your lips

your face

your lovely frame

draped, no doubt, in sheets

that cover, but cannot hide your allure

I imagine your slumber

the soft rise and fall of your breathing

unaware of me or you

unconscious of the beauty you bare

your allure

your effect on me

I'm coffee - you're cream

you swirl through me

enlighten with knowledge

I adulterate you with passion and darkness

we affect each other

become something completely new

you fill my soul with your scent

and I, yours, with desire

awaken my yearning for you, and hence...for life

you are my life

we are a new day

you are the dawn

and I, patient, await the glimmer you bring

watch for your eyes to flutter awake

see me…and smile...
