An Effusion

An Effusion

I lay awake

Watching the sun rise
Across your face
Its golden rays brazing 
Your flesh
Like a queen
Arrayed in Egyptian splendor.

Within the hour
You will be sipping tea
And I coffee
Against the backdrop
Of morning's news...
Shootings, stabbings
Robberies and politics.

But my mind will 
All day orbit
That morning's gleaming marvel
Unsure whether it was
Cast upon you
Or an effusion much deeper
Rising from the depths
Of your beautiful form
Your pure soul
And beautiful mind.
