You were seated on the loveseat,
yet beside you, i couldn't be
made me feel...i, alone, would face eternity,
between us, lay an immeasurable spread...
your distance, was something hard to invade,
some kind of steel.....unthinkable to pierce
but, i broke your wall...fractured your fears
rose from my square pillows
defied my rules, my fears
fought your dominant shadows
I pushed you to the edge...i did leave you in rage,
ignored your dagger looks,
to give way to change
it took a while.......i thought long....what if........
.............................................................
so...i brought in soft buttered Spanish bread
thought i'd chill your rage, with fresh, iced lemonade
while you drank, i squeezed your hand,
teased you with a glance
a tickle here and there
til you grabbed my hand
ahh...i love your controlled smile...
from challenging moments...you and i rise
i'd say......we're worth every daring effort exerted,
Us two, on the loveseat,
side by side,
sitting comforted.
