Working up an appetite
she thinks of breakfast-
turning the pancakes once in the pan,
firmly golden with melting butter and
splattered blueberries-
then coffee, steaming hot
beside orange juice & heavy maple
syrup on the small wooden table-
outside, the trees are donning
aprons, scooping each dew drop,
and prick of warming light-
eager to rouse from winter's embrace-
stirring in bedsheets,
refreshed by her sleep, she runs
her fingers lightly over his still-sleepy frame,
soft in the breathing, firm in the admiration-
she strikes a match,
rekindling faith in beginnings,
with each caress, a bud opens like spring,
seeking the rain & sky-bursting-joy-
he loves her hunger in the morning.

Love how fluently you apply metaphor, it adds a sort of freshness to the sensuality of your poem. Very nice :) I miss mornings like this. (I prefer waffles though, more crunchy ~_^)
