Morning Glory

Asleep in my bed,

you’ll never know the love

and feeling

I have for you

 

yet,

I haven’t the heart

to awaken you from dreams,

to acknowledge the emotion

in so many words

Perhaps, when you awaken

I’ll tell you…

 

 

in the morning.

Looking at your love while they lie sleeping, and you overwhelmed with love for them. Taking in the length of their eye lashes, the fullness of their lips and the curl of their wayward hair. I've been there. Wonderful write Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

It certainly does take me back! Thank you, Chris!

[Chris Shaw]

Nice to remember. With the passing of years you sometimes forget those very, very special moments.

[Sukriti Suki]

I like it, such sweet emotion in such little space. good work

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you so much, Sukriti!

[Lyn Anderson]

The secrets we keep, in the morning. To this I relate, very much.

[Kelly Scheppers]

We're either falling in or out of love...both invite the dance of my muse. Thank you so much, Kara!

[SmittyJas]

Don't wait its never to late to make it count even in the middle of the night it will be all right to tell him that important information that just can't wait till morning light.

I read this poem and I smiled. You know how to get away with words and capture your readers so greatly and make them feel the exact same thing you are feeling whilst writing. Keep going and one day, soon you will author a book.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Your words inspire me, Cassie...thank you!

[David Scott]

Somehow, I think it would be very much appreciated to wake up to such validation.
Future favors the bold. :)
Then again, tomorrow's another day, and rested bones find opportunity.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Such validation is difficult to conceal...especially when the eyes meet. Many thanks, David!

very emotive on the surface and between the lines .. stark reminder to me to wake them up and tell them ..before they are missed from our lives .. the pic is very good .. at the center ..the cross ... something we all need to make happen ... many examples in Religion of the sanctity of sex ;) .. the songs of Solomon leap to mind .. wonderful work Ms Kelly!

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

I remember acting this way on many occasions. Wonderful depiction and imagery.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Please let me know what to call you. I feel a proper introduction should be made for the kindness you've shown!

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

I'm known as 'Mad' to those on here who've known me a while. Quite apt really as I'm as mad as a bag of spanners. ( Did you like all the "as" I used there ?)

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

You can call me Clive if you prefer.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Actually I like both! That's quite an unusual name, though...very gentlemanly!

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Oh thank you dear lady. I was actually named after Clive of India. My mum hadn't realised Clive was his surname, but I like it. No one ever manged to make it shorter as a nick name at school.

[Audrey Murray]

I like the way this poem expresses in a very unassuming manner the powerful emotions we have with love ...well done

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you so much, Audrey...nice to meet you!

[Lydia Shutter]

Some things are better left unsaid. Your emotions are gentle yet powerful. So very lovely, Kelly. Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

You knock me out, Lydi...and always leave me thankful!
