appreciation, beauty, love, morning, romance, sun,
Long, the shadows with morning dew
Herringbone clouds like gossamer lace
Airbrushed above on the blazing blue
Blooming as morn on your angel face
Sunrise enchanter with skin, unleaven
Tenderly daubed with a kiss ... of heaven.

day, morning, summer, sun, sunshine,
Mornings whisper, melting away the night
Gentling passions with magnificent grace
Silencing fears and tears with an embrace
Lifting the darkness with heaven’s sunlight
Dawn quiets the glistening of the moon
Reflecting stillness that sparks joy inside
Where laughter stirs the spirit to confide
In the breathless pleasure who is in tune
Sunup colors feelings in perfect praise
Charming the moments with eternal thanks
Puzzling minds who try to fill in the blanks
With stories of true love that will amaze
Listen to tales hewn by the rising sun
Yarns, bold as summer who won’t be outdone

for her, i love you, love, romance, romantic, romantic love, true love,
You always say I'm talented
And for that I say thank you
But understand the reason
Why I do what it is I do
It's because I want to impress you
I suppose that's immature
But I love hearing you say you like it
And so I give you more and more
No song too difficult to learn
I don't seek for renown
I'll work on things all day and night
From sunup to sundown
I want to make you happy
I want your heart to sing
And in order to accomplish that
I'll do anything

dream, longing, love, relationship, sleep, words,
softspoken words released
in flight to kiss his lips
eager to wrap him in the
gentle arms of silence
each breath caressing
the velvet of his whispers
intent to waltz me
well into my dreams
he loves me in a million ways
from early sunup until
the stars themselves grow dim
and one by one they fall to sleep

allegory,
Death need not be feared,
it’s in the nature of life:
seasons come and go:-
Seek a saintly life,
from your spring to your autumn;
always in God’s grace:-
In labors of love,
be in nature’s healing grace:
seeking saintly death:-

i love you, imagery, longing, love, romantic, together, true love,
I thought I heard you calling in the sighing of the wind
I stood straight up and answered, unwilling to rescind
The notion that it wasn't you, that I was hearing things
I wanted you to come to me, on gilded bluebird's wings
To fly me someplace far away where music does abound
To play and sing most every day from sunup to sundown
And on those days where we don't play from sunup to sundown
I'd only want to sit near you and by you be around
To wait on you, take care of you, to pour you cups of tea
Anything I need to do to have you near to me
See I want nothing fancy, no fanfare, no ado
What I want is simple, just spending time with you

hope, husband, love, passion,
though we've gotten used to moving on and away
just before the dawn ushers in
another new day
still it deeply pains me to see you see me
feigning strength in letting you go,
letting you be
but let's take heart, this sunup will soon be sundown
and we shall once again be alone,
on our own
so for now, let your slumber drift away, satin hair,
let it vanish like a wisp of mist
in the air.
