Love Poem: Before Dawn

Written by: Kim Rodrigues

Before Dawn

the pillow he lies on
is occupied.
when his form stirs,
i am likewise aroused.

our sheets sacred
silhouettes,
our shared blanket -
molds and drapes,
like a greek toga.

our shared yawns
draw a chuckle
before dawn.

warmness of
our marriage bed,
oneness of
entwined ivy vines.

we are kindling,
fueled by memories,
experiences,
where we have grown -
through highs and lows.

like fitful sleep -
tossing and turning,
tears on twin pillows,
transforms coal
into diamonds 

of contentment and peace,
harmony and love.

oh so close!
so trusted!
so bonded!
lip-locked in love
