Sunrise on a Sunday

A soft kiss

spreads warmth

across your cheek,

I watch you stir,

as you half-wake 

to the sound of rustling

of our sheets,

pastel yellow-pink glow

spills into the room,

your eyes barely open,

you frown, squinting

in the dark haze,

your consciousness

still begs for rest,

I touch your face,

caress each eyelid shut,

Go back to sleep, my love,

today, the world can wait.
