Good Morning, My Love

Good Morning, My Love
Form: Ivorian Sonnet 90

In that moment just before the sunrise
Between sleep and awake a dream’s disguise

My senses feel you lying here beside
Me and my eager thoughts drift in the joy
In that moment where memories reside

I feel the warmth of love reach to my soul
The tenderest embrace, but still I know
That all too soon the morning light will stroll
Into our room, my time will come to go

For that moment with you once more I’m whole
No words of verse, I need no envoi
To express this, a lover’s grief on show
I take your love with me, always my bride
As the day comes with its pale-yellow skies
