the perfect sunrise spreads

the

perfect

sunrise spreads

like a warm blanket

wrapping around

a lover’s face –

with the

mist

and

mysteries

of the night,

burning off

at first

light.

  1. I love how concisely you put this very simple daily occurrence!

    I also like the structure. The line breaks coming and going like a wave, as if you’re watching the beginning, crescendo, ending, and then a new beginning of something beautiful.

  2. This is great in its simplicity and the rhythmic feel of the composition.

    I’m not sure if it’s what’s intended, but I find a lot of room for speculation about the events of the previous night ; )
