Stanza Sunday: The Love Has Risen

Hi again, everyone. In my (new) continuing bid to expand awareness of my poetic works, I will be sharing one of the pieces from my self-published poetry collections. This week's entry comes from my first poetry collection, Slammin' on the Rails. Enjoy!

The Love Has Risen

She stirs from her slumber

A well-deserved rest

And when she rolls over

The man of her dreams lays beside her.

She leans over to lay a kiss on his cheek

He begins to rouse

His eyes blink open

And sees the vision of beauty smiling at him.

The man grins back at her 

And, caresses his darling’s face

Knowing out of anywhere in the world

He prefers to be at this place.

The couple greet with a kiss

And, murmur “Good morning”

Then, they curl back up to one another

Not wanting to leave this haven.

They are forced to leave their cocoon

When their dog yips for his food

Another day has begun

And, their love for one another is renewed.
