Is it in the morning

that I love my love

with the best love?

I awake beside her

feel her body’s warmth

her beating heart.

My first awareness of the day

is of her.

She is the beginning of another day

of love.

Or is it in the evening

when I bask in the warmth

of a whole day of her love,

love that will sustain me

through the night

until my first awareness of the new day tomorrow?
