Tempest

Dark, tranquil night grew fidgety With fits of whooshing wind And sleep, serene, it ebbed away With pelting, driven rain While wife of mine, she clutched my hand ‘Neath bedclothes warm and soft— All through the storm we cuddled tight As branches bobbed, they thrashed; Pale dawn, at last, all gray and wet Brought Eros on a call: He saw our love, his grin he flashed, A tempest then stirred up.
