Early Morning

Early morning.
Two people, side by side
One well rested, the other dozy eyed.
In a dark and chilly room
lying in bed the couple resume.
With legs entwined and bodies combined
They hide under the sheets from the gloom outside.

Rising to make tea she leaves him dreaming in cotton seas.
She’ll let the bag brew, add a sugar or two with just a splash of milk.
It’s how they like it.

The lamp’s now glowing and radio waves are flowing
She hops back into bed, cuddling his chest
And the room feels instantly blessed.

Because a morning was so rare, they wished for endless minutes to spare
But the precious few were swiftly dancing through, the warm and loving air.
He rockets out of bed and the spell was broken, all ready and it’s time to go then.
With a kiss goodbye, and sparkling eyes, he walks out the door
And she knows she loves him for sure.

Then & Tea Bags

Tea bag - ha, the Anglophiles are wilting - loose tea, steeped, poured through the appropriate paraphernalia sieve - Hmmmm - Loved the poem and its glow - ~~~ Lady A
