Morning Revelation
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
He wakes to beauty in the morning light.
He wakes to beauty there above his sheets.
It is as if a scene with candlelight
Of love has filled his bed and love competes
With everything against it. There a head
Of hair beyond comparison awaits
His eye and sanctifies the rumples, bed
And drowsiness from love. The dawning’s gates
Reveal romance’s face in front of eyes,
His undeserving eyes perceiving limbs
Still hidden under cloth. The black surprise
Calls Muses to implore the words of hymns.
The way the early light imposes grace
Is worship-like upon pink lips and face.
