Lets make our bedroom a place
To love each other, and only that.
You can do just fine by putting
Your shoes on slowly (not
Unlike Mr.Rogers) sitting on the
Sofa, as opposed to sitting on the bed.
And I will stop sitting in bed
To edit those manuscripts and flip
The pages of books I have already
Read a thousand times. Instead,
A thousand times I will love you;
With the swell of storms at sea,
Yet with the clarity of the sky
After such storm.
You can do just fine by my side,
and myself by yours. As we lay in bed
And wonder what makes us feel so warm,
When the ceiling fan above our bed makes such cold air.
