silver lit black night
parting cloud curtain she peeks
her cool winter touch
reveals lovers' skin warmed in
moon drenched water caressing
morning warm stretches
day begins in sweet embrace
tucked closely to you
skin pressed to skin belonging
in your arms sun dimmed by love
hear water tumble
in misty morning forest
gently awaken
to watch my sleeping lover
my full heart quickens with joy
city sound rumbles
just beyond conscious hearing
closer, your breath sighs
whispering loves precious words
my heart in your hand in mine
