If You Awaken Before Me Poem by Lora Colon

If You Awaken Before Me

Rating: 4.8


If you awaken before me
And I'm crying in my sleep,
Take me in your arms and kiss me,
Give me reason not to weep

If you awaken before me
And I'm smiling happily,
It means I'm dreaming of your love,
Make my dream reality

If you awaken before me
And I'm shivering with cold,
Let your body become my quilt,
Let your sensual warmth unfold

If you awaken before me,
Gently, darling, pull me close,
Tell me just how much you love me-
In poetry or in prose

If you awaken before me,
Please, never leave me alone,
I panic when I don't see you,
And your whereabouts, unknown

If you awaken before me
And you need to hear me say:
I love you more than life itself....
Awaken me..... you know the way!

Wow absolutely loved this, beautiful, from the tears of the opening stanza 'If you awaken before me And I'm crying in my sleep, ' to the intrigue of If you awaken before me And you need to hear me say: I love you more than life itself.... Awaken me..... you know the way! that resonates 'Awaken me..... you know the way! ' I can get lost in that line :)

Achingly sweet and romantic. Certainly beats the way I usually get awoken- bells, shouts, shaking, and the occasional feather. great writing 10+

Long, dramatic and overthought love poems don't work for me. This little cutie did. Thanks for sharing.

My favorite stanza, thought i liked them ALL: If you awaken before me And I'm crying in my sleep, Kiss me gently.... stroke my hair, Give me reason not to weep ..........................barf! so dramatic! ! ! :) i like the 'pause' inserted using........ i had a GREAT laugh at the ending of this superb [even though it seems to be a dreaded love poem; ugh! ] poem. like the rhyming. need a quilt tonight? ? to MyPoemList for sure (even though it is a love/romance/girls' poem!) . It does NOT sound like my spouse talking. i wonder how SHE might have written it. HMMMM? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Get Up, But DON’T Bother Me If you awaken before me And I'm crying in my sleep, I must be dreaming of you, You dirty rotten little creep. If you awaken before me And I’m smiling HAPPILY, I’m planning our divorce, Thinking how NICE it sure will be. If you awaken before me And I’m shivering ….”with cold”, It’s NOT from the temperature, But from the ‘bill of goods’ YOU sold…. ME! If you awaken before me, Don’t ever DARE get near. Or I’ll blacken both your eyes; For YOU I have ….not a speck of fear! ! If you awaken before me, Just get yourself off the FLOOR. And don’t DARE get in bed with me, Or I’ll whack you like I’ve done before. If you awaken before me, Get busy; you know the drill. Two eggs over easy on dry toast, And don’t you DARE, MY coffee spill! ! (March 21, 2015) bri :)
