Sunlight

I wanted to watch the sunlight climb your body like a building symphony

To lay beside you in the beginning of a day and watch light find it's way over the valley of the small of your back, the cavern between your shoulder blades and the soft rolling peak of your strong arms.

The sun would slide down the slope of your neck like a child on a playground thinking of nothing but joy and lighthearted afternoons in the sand

And finally it would make it's way over your jaw line and through all your hair to your eyelids

Where it's warmth would gently coax open your eyes and you would find me there

Waiting for you in the morning air to come alive

And your sleepy grin would part your lips like a high school play curtain

Revealing the beginning of a story

A prince and his princess on a stage

Ready to paint the sky with their love

And tell the world their names.
