Are you free today?
Before boredom overwhelms me
Can you come over?
The line went dead and silent
Until I heard the tiny voice
"Ok", give me a little while

Quickly I arranged my bed
My accessories imprisoned by dust
Finally, they got their freedom
With a sparkling new look
I changed the ambiance
With a nice and sweet spray

Waiting can be so long!
I felt like I've been waiting for years
The clock suddenly became slow
I followed all the tick tock
Till I heard the doorbell rang
Yea, who is it? Like I never knew

I suddenly became a stutterer
How can God package so much in one vessel?
I never knew i could be this courteous
Thank God only my shadow witnessed it
When she called my name
The truth, I died…..

Slowly she walked in like an Angel
Can I sit down she asked?
Yes, I am fine I answered
Then suddenly my brain came to life
She asked to sit
Yes please, I said to this damsel

Suddenly, I noticed a slight bulge
You will not put me to shame
You this shameless generator of generations
Quickly I made to arrest it
With my Christmas denim pant
And a tight faded jean

As she settled into the couch
That was the last thing I remembered
My mind traveled all over her
Her presence filled the house
She must have been curated on a Monday
After God finished creation on Sunday

So, what is going on with you?
Obviously, she was in the driver's seat
How can she bring the game to me?
Yet, I lost my composure
In my very own comfort zone
Never joke with the power of a woman

Can I share your seat?
She smiled, beckoned with her index finger
I quickly sank into the chair
To my amazement she was calm
She mildly held and stroked my hands
If this is a dream, please Lord, I don't want to wake up

At close range she could hear it
As my heartbeat raced faster than Michael Phelps
Come to Mummy she said
Without hesitation I moved like thunderbolt
Sank into her sweet arms
Then she planted a forehead kiss

As dawn drew closer
I found courage to ask
Please, will you stay over?
I could feel a crack in my voice
Seductively she smiled and retorted
No Sweety, I wish I could!

Why wouldn't she just stay?
My heart said from the inside
When the hour finally came
Together, we walked quietly
Goodbye my lover
Silently, I wished the day never ended
