i would wake you gently
when slivers of sunlit strands
would stroke your eyelids softly
i’d follow the trail they left with whisper-light kisses
feathering my love across your lips
tempting you to embrace the morning

with a firm expression of your passion

yes
i would always wake you gently
because there are always better ways
to be awakened
