Daybreak (A Poem)

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">Her presence
</span><span style="color:#323232;">intoxicating as
</span><span style="color:#323232;">the smell of sweet honey
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">her touch sends shivers
</span><span style="color:#323232;">down deep
</span><span style="color:#323232;">to the marrow of my bones
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">her gaze icy
</span><span style="color:#323232;">yet it burns me
</span><span style="color:#323232;">and everything within
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">every time
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I pray
</span><span style="color:#323232;">to hold her
</span><span style="color:#323232;">just for a minute longer
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">yet when the sun comes up
</span><span style="color:#323232;">she is no longer there
</span><span style="color:#323232;">my silent wish
</span><span style="color:#323232;">unanswered
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">the sheets next to me
</span><span style="color:#323232;">devoid of her warmth
</span><span style="color:#323232;">yet full
</span><span style="color:#323232;">of her fragrance
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I sigh and close my eyes
</span><span style="color:#323232;">only to meet her again
</span><span style="color:#323232;">in my dreams
</span>
