I can’t wait to see you every morning
No fluorescent screen to bring light to our faces
But the natural gleam of the sun streaming through breaks in curtains
A gold hue washes over your skin
But there are still goosebumps as your arms are out from the warmth of the blanket
That’s my fault
I stole all the covers last night…
Come closer and it would be no issue
Your arms automatically close around me
Even in your sleep you have the same desire for closeness
I know you’re sleeping by the heavy breathing
Sorry love
But you do snore
Though I never knew an inhale could be so melodic.
Your breath brings another wave of warmth
An indescribable comfort
A safe house from the outside world
My vulnerability is precious
And you get it all
My purest form…
But you protect me
This morning with your golden arms
The goosebumps disappeared
And so did the low rumble of snores
You always said seeing me in the morning was your favorite part of the day
So I greet your sleepy smile with a kiss…
“Morning Love”
“Mmmmorning… breath~”
And so he laughs at his own joke-

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
