My Mornings With You
A coffee in hand
And you on my lap
I take slow sips
Allowing the feeling of warmth to move through me
It gives me more time for my eyes to linger
On the lines, the bumps, the many shapes of you
I still hold my coffee as I grab onto you
The deep scent of my drink lingers
On the places I’ve kissed you
And we have forever for this moment
The world need not disturb
