Half-closed eyes blink away the evening’s sleep
The day is half an hour off and our alarms are still silent
I roll over and gaze at you in the quiet of pre-dawn
Steadfast in your dreams I curl closer so I may hear them
Lazily your arm wraps around my waist, wanting
You press a kiss to my brow,
” Morning”
In the dark you eyes meet mine, calm and still half dreaming
A gentle kiss and quiet smile, the outside world does not exist
Opened eyes no closed again we treasure these precious minutes
My head rests against your steady breathing, arms around your middle
Blink and sleep calls again,
Safe
and warm
dreaming.
Prompt: When I Opened My Eyes
