It was a wonderful night
Wine
Popcorn
Lovely walk
Air filled with electricity
And at midnight
Still wide awake
In our nakedness
She parted my hair
Told me she loved me
Beyond all measures
And asked me lovingly
‘Will you ever ask me?
‘To marry you?
I
Parted her hair and smiled
And she looked so happy
With her lovely curves
Her taste on my lips
And I brought her close
After a split second of
Thoughts
The 4 marriages between us
The nasty costly divorces
Pain driven
The Reap & the Sow
And whispered
‘No...’
