Don'T Tell
A cold drop of rainwater fell on my eye,
Awakening me from a deep sleep;
I felt *****:
"Hope my freckles haven't faded,
For summer's come and gone;
Today is cleaning day...
Bedroom...first;"
I turned on John Mellencamp,
And washed my walls which
Were painted antique white;
After rearranging my furniture,
I placed on my brass bed, a new
Ensemble of white satin ~ oh, so gentle;
"I really hope my freckles haven't faded,
For summer has come and gone;"
I carefully washed my window till it...
Squeaked,
Then stood for a long while;
I removed my oversized flannel shirt,
and felt the sun's warmth on my breasts;
"Perhaps my freckles faded but little;"
Upon buttoning my shirt, I hung exquisite
White satin curtains that brushed
The floor;
Candles of violet, light blue and white
Were placed randomly throughout,
Just prior to polishing the sturdy oak floor;
Finishing touch...a crystal chandelier...
Heroic...Hanging from my ceiling...
I stood in admiration...observing the
Magical sun dancing in hues of red, violet
And blue;
As I showered, the warm water enchanted
My slender body...and...my soul;
Never before had I felt so peaceful;
As I slowly massaged my thighs with
Vanilla cream, I observed that freckles
Yet coveted my nose...bosom...legs...
Summer embraced my waist and softly
Whispered the secret into my ear...
I proceeded downstairs, poured a glass
Of wine, then...
I politely asked my lover to leave.
