TO WAKE IN LOVE

The wake of the night
I open my eyes
I remember that you are my love

A blush brushes my cheeks
My eyes wide and lips pink
I look to my left where you lay still and sleeping

It feels like a vow
Your mouth to my mouth
Where the taste of ambrosia still lingers

The glow from within
Shines through to my skin
Will I love you forever, a while, or just briefly?
