The Morning After

By Joe

The Morning After

By Benjamin Andrews

Awaking in the glow

the post coital bliss

your arms around me

wrapped in warmth

kisses on your whiskers

wishing i didn’t have to go to work

your back arched

hands occupied

morning delights

waking up next to you

is something I’ll never get used to

like a sunrise

its beautiful every time

Benjamin Andrews shares his writing on his Tumblr blog Voice of the Writer.  I came across this poem and really loved the imagery.  I hope you do as well.  Also, check out some of Benjamin’s poetry and writings.

About Joe

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

  Says it like it is….would have used a photo of more mature (like myself) lovers, but as usual the posting is excellent!!! Reminds me of my feelings when I am with my love. Thanks, friend.

  Thanks guys, Mind of Mine, I think silvereagle was making a bit of a joke. I used the younger guys in the picture because the poet is younger.
