The Sunrise

Sunrise was a time I never knew
till I met you.
Mornings weren't my style,
too bright
to cheerful,
Just didn't match my mood.
Night time offered me
a solace,
a peace.
Perhaps it was the dimming of vision
or the cool of the darkness,
But the less my senses had to deal with
the better, the easier
Till I met you.
Through imagined peace,
you rose like a gentle dawn,
awakening my emotions
stretching my imagination,
applying your subtle pastels
to my desires,
Warming a coldness within me.
Sunrise was a time I never knew.
Morning songs were for the birds
or dedicated joggers.....not for me,
Till I met you.
