Breathless She Whispered

Breathless she whispered her promise
   over the ocean's whippoorwill wave
Eager for word did he hearken
   suppressed beneath work-a-day's grave

Closer she drew to strained earlobes
   alluring, affection's tone's shape
Ecstatic their impassioned revelry
   in dawn's light arm-in-arm draped

Romantic, and poignant. "suppressed beneath work-a-day's grave" - I loved this line especially for it is SO true some days. I drag in after a day's work, practically tired as a corpse.

You know what they say. 5:00 p.m. is when the dead come back to life...Proof of resurrection. :) gw
