South of Marriage

South Of Marriage Emotions came alive hot wire red Blood boils, scolding, screaming in the veins Fire rising higher in the head Frayed crazy hair standing on edge Burnt to the core high voltage snakes Coiled and ready to attack her mate Female venom lies in wait Eyes glaring, pulse pumping in a rage The hysterical voice screams out at 3:00 am My relations took a left turn somewhere It’s only my wife a little trifled Wondering why I’m waltzing in so late “Don’t worry dear.” “It’s only me returning from a couple beers out there.” My spouse is so lovely and understanding She makes me laugh I smile, fall to sleep real fast before she strikes Wondering if I might rest in peace tonight Before something nearby ignites a fight Emotions are a funny thing My wonderful wife and I this evening
