Another Day to You

A Poem by Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)

waking up and wanting to give the entire day to her

I awake so aroused by you,

You sing life into me,

In pure verses that give their due.

Bounded to you dearly,

I give this day, like those before.

No lesser honor would be pure.

I give this day.

Regret never reaches my shore.

I awake so aroused by you,

Completely taken back.

Entranced by simple morning dew;

Eyes full of you I lack.

What is a day these eyes lose sight,

Of the one thing they dream at night.

What is a day?

Leave me sleep till the world is right.

I awake so aroused by you,

Anxious to drink you up,

I can think no other task through;

My spirit is the cup.

Another day I give to you,

While basking in your fiery hue.

Another day!

May it prove adequate and true.

For my muse, I hope this one births a smile on her face. My 1st attempt at a Trijan Refrain; thanks to Shelly A. for exposing me to it. Your thoughts are welcomed, thank you for reading.

Now be careful and mindful that emotion can lead a man to uncivil manners.

you've done the form very well...

i like how this woman arouses the speaker's senses...and arouses him in so many ways...makes the day worth living when he wakes up to her.

Your poem is song-like, PH, and all ladies love to be sung to. You've done well with this form - not an easy one at all. I could feel your love and hope that your lady feels it too.

Overwhelming love, devotion, and adoration in every line of this wonderful poem, my friend. A love like that is all consuming. You wake up with desire and go to sleep with longing. Yes, that describes how a true poet feels about the muse. The Trijan Refrain is not an easy form, but you have aced it here. Kudos to you. Lydi**
