September Morning

This September morning
is shining and full of promise
a gift
wrapped in layers of quilts,
the room is cool, bright and new
as are you,
your head on my pillow
for the first time,
your arm slung low and protective
across my waist
as we sleep the sleep of dreamers,
content, comfortable
yet easily aroused at a morning kiss.
You look even better to me
in this place that is mine,
this time that is new in my life,
and this morning that is a first for us
when you whisper I love you
and you don't care who knows now
I know that we are standing at the
foot of a long, climbing road,
and I am happy to begin.
