Dawning

Kiss me
In nights that last without sleep
Your head to my bare chest pillow
Like a nursing child in my arms
Brilliance in your eye-shine
Glance in to my soul

In an instant, although, fleeting
Your gift more to me than all others before
Combined, our passion courses
In the backdrop of my first real debut
Molding like clay to your art

Arches and swirl curve shapenings
My sweetest always-straying dark color
Trace my palette with your gentle brushes
All that I am that I would be just ample
To catch your moment over again

And be the reason that happiness falls on you
Your childlike wonder returned by my faith
And tears of empty doubt and pain
Erased with the swell of our satisfaction
In finally having realized
That it will never be enough
