When I can wake up beside you

When I can wake up beside you

I swear your butterfly eyelashes taunt me
As they blink
Revealing the heaven I knew before I was born
(And the one soon to come)
 When I see how talented God is at creating
You

You whisper
It sounds like hummingbirds saying I love you for the first time
The first time I kissed you
Our mouths stayed together for more than a moment
Locked and defying any search for a key
We kissed until biology reminded us that we need some of our own breaths too
But you make me wish I was a tree
Not just to have such strength
But that when we kiss, carbon dioxide is good enough for me
Maybe I could be a tree
Kissing you makes me feel alive
And when your long lashes roll back
The green in your eyes reminds me where I’m home.
And when your cheeks dance there selves into a smile
That melts me like an icicle sword in the warmth you beguile
And yet you wear no mask
Redeemed though you’ve been broken
You love with heart open
My arms
Bury yourself in my chest
Fall back asleep snuggling your curves to my heart
If it’s still dark
Press yourself against me
Let me know you
Every dimple, every curve of your skin
With no light and only my fondest memories to guide me

I wake up every morning and still have to ask if this is just a dream
