Softness

Morning’s breath
Invigorated me today –
Realigned my sense of touch
And put a smile upon my face.

Eyes half open,
Laying beside my love;
Hair spread around,
Hands holding soft, but snug.

Cuddled in bed linens,
Curtains drawn to shun the light.
Murmur of her sleeping,
Finishing out another night.

Fingers dancing down her back,
Learning again her smoothness;
Picture perfect skin,
Reminded of how I love this.

I must be lucky one
To be inspired by such beauty.
