Love Poem: Passionate Wonder Awakens

Passionate Wonder Awakens

laying in the pre-dawn quiet wondering

if your steady shallow breathing is untroubled sleep

or a wandering mind prone to thoughts of our nakedness

like mine is

blissfully knowing the only thing keeping

us from each other and our physical ecstasy

is allowing time to decide who will make the first move

because once we begin we both know we can’t stop

until we’ve topped the world

and come back down to earth in breathless abandon

sweaty and satisfied and comfortably weary

tangled and peaceful

welcoming the dawn is a treasure

we discover together again everytime

our bodies and minds entwine all of our senses

passionate wonder awakens
