Alternate Life: Monday Morning

Train horn awakening
through gauzy white curtains
on humid air.
And your hands
would slide down my thigh
to pull me into your sticky body.
We'd cover each other
in furry teethed kisses.
I'd tiptoe naked to the kitchen
to make coffee for us.
Birds would chirp in the grey light
as I poured milk into our cups.
And you'd tell me how beautiful I am,
that my body tells your story
of how you became a man.
You would drink me in,
your face held over the steam,
breathing deeply to start the day.
I'd laugh at you looking at me,
with that crazy laugh I have.
and you'd laugh with me.
We'd talk about the day ahead,
your hand would rest on mine,
the contours worn and familiar.
I'd send you off to the shower
with a smack on your ***.
You'd look back and smile.
We'd both wish you didn't
have to go to work today.
I'd wriggle back under the covers,
deep down soul happy
for that Georgia morning train.

You have earned a spot on the list of my favorite poets :)

I noticed there are no kids whining for pancakes or searching for lost shoes before school... hey, if you're going to have an alternate reality, it might as well be one where you can go back to bed!

Good Lord, if this were any more spontaneous I'd see or could reach over and run a finger along the shine of your lower lip where your tongue had just moistened it! Here's to the Georgia train!

You really are one of my favourite poets Shannon. I love the furry teeth kisses, steaming coffee and being drunk in. What art you have to capture such morning moments!

Splendid in its straightforwardness and bliss!

My favorite lines

You would drink me in,
your face held over the steam,
breathing deeply to start the day.

Yours it's a happy verse, shannon, best of all, Bar

Thanks y'all! LOL! I decided that in writing I can make my life whatever I want it to be. :D
