The Morning Light

I thought I heard you say
I love you

I fell asleep to the thought

Fell asleep
     And Fought
          Other words

I thought I heard you say
It’s over

Stayed awake to the thought

Tossed and turned
     And Fought
          The possibility

I thought I heard you say

You’re out of my league

I listened to the thought

Cried in the night
     And Fought
          The Truth

I thought I heard you Sigh

Sweetly

Felt it ripple like a thought

Throughout my body
     And Fought
           My need
To make Love to you
Again

I thought I heard you say

I surrender

I became an open Thought

Soaked-in your wetness
       And Fought
            The Morning Light
               ...and lost

I remain,
ever thankful for Life's sweet graces, caresses, and intimate moments in the night.
