When together we do awake to another bright day (English sonnet)

When together we do awake to another bright day
there is something special to the morning
while outside the dogs do barking play,
the train in the distance hoots out its warning

and I wonder if this kind of sheer bliss
that away our breaths for moments do take,
that we find in every kiss, is the way it is,
to every other couple that do awake

and our love does constantly something more seek,
as daily into the busyness of life we do embark
and something of it is present in every day and week
as it remains constant like a set mark

and in times of heartache and pain it does remain
as more depth, compassion and power it does gain.
