Now Awake Poem by James Casey

Now Awake


Sunshine pierces the window pane
A beautiful tapestry of light..
That aroused me from my slumber
And chases out the night..

A warmth that spreads along my spine
My lady's hands it seems..
A whisper in the morning
She's welcomed in my dreams..

Visions dancing in my head
Her hair, her face, her breasts..
Sensations shimmer down my side
All the caresses she knows best..

Her scent, her taste, her whisper
Is percolating in my mind..
Makes a swelling of desire
With a rhythm as old as time..

The sun, my love, my mistress
Her demands I'll not debate.
She chases the dreams from my mind
Then she forces me awake..
