I have kept you up too late again my love by Maree Dawes
whispering to you of love and secrets
past midnight
then waking at each switch of starscape
to notice what is hidden
or revealed in changing dark
I have woken you too early
because in my half waking
I must rediscover
skin mouths breath
shift the veil
between dreams and life
I have woken you early
there is time for tea
and oranges
in the afternoon
I will feel sleepy
and write apologies
I am sorry I kept you up too late and woke you up so early
but I cannot promise not to do these things again.
