Morning Montage

Unplugged my alarm clock I can't get out of bed Gave my shadow the day off I'd rather lay here with you instead The morning singing with traffic And the cat's crying to be fed My thoughts have all been distracted Watching sunlight dancing on your skin A stranger to my emotions. And then you knocked on my dream The door to my heart you opened You kept my secrets. Girl you undid me. Now daytime taps at my window Like a child that's been ignored While heaven sleeps on my pillow Newspaper orphaned outside the door. ©2017
