Sunrise
    (in collaboration with "dfoz")

    how I long to see the sun rise with you
    sharing our time on a blanket
    shards of sunlight glint off the water
    at the end of the world
    whispers of deepest secrets and desires
    float from our lips to the breezes
    glistening sand mirrors the sky
    as the tumbling sea slips back off of the land
    your simple beauty
    conquering my heart
    capturing my soul
    I gaze upon your visage
    as you lay dreaming in the morning air
    your light summer dress laying over you
    nearly shear
    clings to your every curve
    slanted golden dawn
    highlights the rise and fall of your slumber
    light whispers of your breath and breeze
    pounding of my heart and surf
    all mingle as one
    my mind plays wantonly with thoughts of unspoken things
    that might have been...
    might be...
    if you were to awake...
    sighing with the breeze I let it waft away my thoughts
    and simply cover you with my jacket
    I take note of your serene countenance as the sun
    reflects off of your golden hair
    pushing aside a stray wind blown strand
    with my fingertips
    I realize my fortune of knowing you at all
    and rejoice to share a bit of time with you
    so I gently lie beside you
    sheltering you from the chill of the breeze
    warming our souls
    and hold you to my satisfaction
