"This Morning"

by Max Phineas

I was awakened by a familiar aroma
of hair shampooed the day before

And by skin so vibrant
it penetrated both of my eyelids

Until I had to open them
to see your magnificent smile.

Doctors told me I had palpitations;
an irregular heartbeat, I wonder why?

Had they seen you the way I do each morning
that knowing look would appear in their eyes.

In a single motion, one soft kiss
from you to me

A flooding of sweet fluorescent memories
Infiltrates my thinking space.

Your beauty radiates around me
and I never want to leave.

Ann Marie & Jon stole the words out of my fingers. One of the reasons I like reading your poetry is the fresh point of view that is so mature and sees what older people sometimes don't. Beautiful Cole...
