The playful mood lovers often find themselves in on the morning after a night of romance and passion. Often they wind up having each other for breakfast (if you know what I mean).

 

 

Day breaks

Through our window

I awaken to the warmth of the sun

On my face, eyes fluttering open

Nostrils flare, inhaling the scent

Of fresh coffee and you

Laying so close, my arm

Draped across your chest

Rising and falling with each peaceful breath

Waking lazily to spend

Another morning after with you

In the cozy little breakfast nook

Watching as you try so hard to concentrate

On the morning paper

Knowing that I am staring

Lovingly, and smiling

Over my steaming mug

As I recall the night before

I toss the corner of my toast

Over the top of the sports section

It plops into your juice and starts to sink

You lower the paper

And raise an eyebrow

Then with feigned outrage

Throw the paper to the floor

Like a naughty child I

Try to make my escape

The chase is on, back to our room

Where I will gladly take my punishment

    You capture the moment so perfectly. Such a talented writer. I could picture every moment so clearly, oh, and doesn’t the mind of the reader just want to continue into the bedroom. Brilliant writing. Thank you. George.
