AH, TO BE ROMANTIC
AH, to be romantic
To place a single
Freshly cut rose
In a cup
And place it
On the breakfast table
To stealthily approach
Whispering a “growled”
I love you
On to the back of her neck
To place a “not so Hallmark” card
Seductively
In the grocery bag
For her to find
Oh, but to free
The lunacy of lust
Carouse about the house
Vacuum in hand
As she lifts her feet
While giving you that
“God, I love you Look”
Always remembering
Love is not a past tense word
It is a tension that lives
In the presence of lovers
A binding covenant
Written in the depth of now
