Waking up
It's wonderful to wake up next to you.
Arms-reach across the sheet your body
sleeps.
Another life. Another life, another
way to view our world.
There I can see those landscapes of
delight
That are your body,
The long slope of your hips,
The soft enfolding valley of your
things,
The gentle smoothness of your breasts.
My hand reaches gently now to touch
your hair,
Your eyes are closed. Behind those
lids,
The blue that sees another world from
mine.
The colours and the people different.
This is the difference we share.
It's wonderful to wake up next to you.
It is my morning miracle.
