Your Morning Kisses

For my wife, Jessica.
Your morning kisses
Are like the sparkling
Drops of dew
Upon the early morning
Blades of grass.
Your lips, so soft
Tenderly kiss my temple.
A momentary pause,
The slight hush of your breath,
Sends quivers through my flesh.
I feign sleep, waiting, wondering
And then you leave another,
So soft, barely felt, against my cheek,
and is quickly followed by a third,
and fourth
Tender kiss.
A smile betrays me
And I turn and greet a new day
With your sweet morning kisses,
Against my lips.
