Warmth of Home
For Cassandra
Dewdrops on trees glisten crystalline
as we wake entangled in shared sheets,
a smile, a laugh, another good morning
milestone. Adrift we drift on currents of time,
warmth of sunlight through the window,
warmth of your hands, arms, lips, body,
touching, rekindling embers, passion
remembered. Our time together savored
as we bask in shared glow, steam
of hot tea & breakfast, silent minutes
filled with soft gazing, holding hands,
enveloping embraces. Birds singing
bright serenades in a thrilling crescendo,
blended music, nature's instruments,
a symphony played exclusively for us,
for joyous you & me. This is my home,
an emotion, expression, unwaveringly
empyreal, a mystical radiance, intensely
tender caress, wrapped around my being
here, with you. Purest notion of our life
together, unbridled laughter, vulnerability
as strength, stars viewed, fears soothed,
wounds healed & left behind, your smile
a sunbeam glimpsed through clouds. Dancing
with me in painted twilight, blurred motion
mirrored, your gestures blooming beautiful
feelings, our hearts beat-beating in rhythm,
synchronized to the harmony of home.
