Dreaming of Mornings

Am a sucker for a Sunday...

It was your slow, faint fingertips in the morning

Caressing along a bare outer thigh

That had woken me to the softest, sweetest pillow

Of your tickling platinum locks

Giggling together when I had squirmed

Sleepy features nuzzling all the deeper into your hair

Slightly squeezing my leg tighter at your waist

While you gently teased that sensitive nook

At the back of a knee which rests upon your hip

Throughout each and every night

As if you know, have always known

All the right places to touch to make me smile

 

It had felt like one in a million sunrises

Like I have awoke tangled about you countless times

As natural as breathing the tender ways we snuggle

Fingertips slipping through fingertips to take my hand in yours

Wrapping my arm around you as I pulled you so close

A cheek tucked at the warm slope of your neck

Not a word whispered as we took that moment

Just took the moment…

To listen to the calm, steady cadence of our mingling hearts

Pressed so near to the other’s in a disheveled bed

To absorb, savor, perhaps even dare to memorize

The sensation of curves so seamlessly fitted together

 

And I know that you had heard it

Those seconds when I had swallowed the emotions

I know that you had felt it

When my chest had suddenly constricted with the unshed tears

Because it was a moment that you and I had shared

When you had slowly turned within my embrace to face me

As if you have done the same a thousand times before

Our trembling fingers stretching for the satin feel of the other’s hair

Fleeting, telling smiles gracing our lips as palms had rested

And thumbs lovingly stroked along velvet cheeks

Gazing into the other’s eyes…

Never having to speak a word, do we?

We never have to say anything…

 

The memories are always there

Behind our every touch, with every glance, in our every kiss

As if star-crossed lovers forever haunted by their past

Reflections living like shadows at the recesses of our minds

So much that cherishing touches always linger just a little longer

As if fingertips have never once forgotten the time spent apart

So much that something glitters, sparks every time that eyes meet

Those many things that mouths need not speak

Always beginning with, “I love you. Where have you been all my life?”

And always ends with a tilt, a lean towards a kiss

That tastes of time upon softly exploring lips

I am so sorry, sugar. I know I'm like a ghost sometimes... Aha.:) Don't mean to be. Just life carries me away sometimes, gets hectic at times and requires my undivided attention. Do miss coming here... Miss the friendships and the beautiful minds.

You write beautifully as well, sweets.:) With every ounce of your soul which is entirely priceless and irreplaceable.

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

Wow, beautiful doesn't quite say it. It was a rather special love story. I couldn't help but read it all with caesura. Loved your manner of speaking as well. Tyfs

Great writing

Wonderful. Beautifully told. What wondrous creatures we are, what a gamut of complexities. You portray a potential side of us even whilst we might be half listening to reports of drones loosing off their life-taking message of a different kind of love.

[Beautiful Intentions]

Such a lovely review, JoeM! Thank you so much.

[Nwang]

When I was reading through it i felt like I was seeing a movie scene unfold. Great writing and wonderful flow.

[Beautiful Intentions]

Thank you so much, Nwang! Had kinda felt the same way to me.:)

[Tony Jordan]

So beautiful !
The reader is honoured to be at this banquet of delights where each one draws a deeper sigh. This love that you speak of - I have tasted it too and although it is bittersweet with me, now, I would take another bite in a heartbeat.
I look forward to reading you again Beautiful Intentions.

[Beautiful Intentions]

This review tugged at my heart, Tony... With your willingness to take another bite in a heartbeat. Here's too finding yourself full, and yet, always craving a second course. Thank you so much for your splendid review!

[Tony Jordan]

You're very welcome Beautiful Intentions. Your good wishes touching and so welcome. Thank you and here's to no indigestion ! heh heh.

[Beautiful Intentions]

Ahaha! Omg... Heck yes.:) You made me bust into laughter at work. Everyone just turned their heads at once. Aha... You're great!

[Tony Jordan]

oops I'll mark my comments NSFW next time. I can't have you getting fired. :)

[Beautiful Intentions]

Ahaha... No worries, sweets. I'm the boss.;)

[Tony Jordan]

Well fire those underlings for lifting their heads while the boss is having joyfuls. lol

[Beautiful Intentions]

They are used to me irrupting into laughter seemingly out of the blue. They just smile with me.:) Then ask what was so funny.

[Tony Jordan]

I have created a new acronym then just for you - SSFWCB
'Super Safe For Work Coz Boss'

[Beautiful Intentions]

I love this! Ahaha.:) About to use this as my header when I email ridiculous things for a shared giggle.

[Tony Jordan]

lmao - cool

[Jibey]

Beautifully written, with a dreamy flow of images and emotions that speak of the depth of the love of these two bedfellows. There are so many lovely touches: 'your tickling platinum locks', 'tangled about you', 'the sensation of curves', 'stroked along velvet cheeks', 'a kiss that tastes of time upon softly exploring lips'.

I am left breathless and mesmerized, drugged by your sensational words, touched that I can tiptoe into your private chamber.

[Beautiful Intentions]

Thank you, dear one.:) Will be along later tonight to return the splendid review. Miss your read suggestions... So if you have any please do send away.
