Joy in the Morning
I kiss joy in the morning as thoughts of you bow down in gentle gratitude
And affection she dances lightly through the bedcovers, spreading rose petals, red above
How sweetness falls upon the day, fresh crimson, rainbows soft
And handsome tiptoes through merriment, his puckered lips smiling
Beauty she blushes, and gathers love in baskets woven by the twinkle of dawn’s amber eyes
Feathered pillow springs forward and welcomes tickles from hope, chuckle laughs wearing a shy pink
And bold blanket, he harnesses the voluptuous dream of the night, his treasure to marry
The floor becomes ocean and reins in a guild of seahorses made to roar with indigo passion
Folded in dreamland, bed castle winks and mattress plays cymbals in orchestra duvet
Strong faith appears, in this space between, where wishes wear sparkling ruby crowns
Tomorrow, she laughs and splashes butterscotch clouds at strawberry-popcorn glee
While always and forever tango close beside the groom of starlit night and bride of chamber music
Come find me here, beneath the giggling moonbeams and peek-a-boo painted bed sheets
Come find joy, before reason slips beyond the kaleidoscope guard and sleeping disbelief awakes

Beautiful, very imaginative imagery and lovely love poem. I, too, am trying to write on Asperger’s and love– a subject very important for Aspies to know about with our fears of closeness. See my newest post, “Infinity in the Eyes” on http://ow.ly/d7k8d
I’ll pop over and visit soon. Thank you for your kind comment. 🙂
Ah, Sam! Once again the lovely messages you bring wrapped up in the paper of poetry.

Just delightful — having a late day – so this is my morning (4:02 pm) … don’t ask — but still and all your words once again just inspire and amaze me. Of course I love this: “The floor becomes ocean and reins in a guild of seahorses made to roar with indigo passion” ~ but so many other lines too… Just a beauty Sam – like you!! xxoo
