falling stars

dappled morning light the gentleness of early suns flickered through leaves dancing on a gentle breeze filtered by curtains drawn tight against the intruding day your steady breath still soft with sleep dusting my skin will always be how I want to wake your gentle voice gravelly with sleep pulling me into the new day pulling me into you I could stay here like this entwined with you letting day fall into night and night bloom into day the world beyond our window dissolving I would if we could stay here breathing you in my oxygen the falling stars of your kisses upon my skin firing my heart with love. © J.C.
