Morning Lovers At Night Poem by S Michael Stamper

So many times we've been together,
so many times we've been apart.
Morning love is for lovers,
never waiting for the night.

As my hand was resting on your knee,
I remembered those days;
how it used to be.

Two young lovers on a star-filled night,
grasping at dreams;
enjoying life.

If we went back to those days when time stood still,
we couldn't get enough love for our Hearts to fulfill.

Holding hands crossed together,
each one smiling;
admiring each other.
Loving you for loving me,
you showed me off for your friends to see.

You opened my heart,
you grasped my soul.
I loved you then;
I love you now even more.

You are the one who was never swayed,
You mesmerized me,
you stole me away.

It's with your love I never strayed;
you kept me captured.
I love you always and forever.
You have my soul.

A keepsake from the one who traded his heart,
a thank you for keeping me inline
until we depart.

As I watch you at this break of dawn;
I know that I'm here;
right, where I belong.
