Morning Thoughts
Dorothy E. King

i want
to wake up
with you
beside me
let my kisses
be your alarm clock
hold up the day
while we say
good morning

i want
to roll
into your arms
watch the sun
streak your face
ask the birds
to perform
your favorite song

i want
to lie
quietly beside you
listen to the cadence
of your breathing
hang a
"do not disturb" sign
on the morning

i want
to wake up
with you
beside me
& then
i want
to make love
