AWAKENED PASSION

 A YAWN…..

The inky darkness of the night deepens

Twinkling stars slip farther away

Hours glide in contended silence

She floats softly in his arms

Etching moments in votive memory

And then time pauses he stares awestruck

A sensuous yawn escaping her mouth

Her sleepy eyes climb in his look

A sultry giggle shimmers in the skies

He claims the yawn blushing eyes close

The drowsy stars whisper this is love….

AND A DAWN……….

The sweeping dawn peeks in and pauses

She sleeps in his gentle embrace

Birds impatient to twitter flowers to bloom

He nods quietly the rays rush in

Musical birds soar high flowers sway

Her eyes open folding him in a glow

Words fail even votive its sunshine………..
