Marriage Bed

Marriage Bed After so many years together You and I may have a routine The passions of youth were consuming Like a flash fire flares so quickly Now, you begin making love in the morning, When you wake early to turn my coffee on You continue your moves as you fill my gas tank, noticing it was nearly gone A woman may take longer to be ready to give and to receive... but wait You know all the right strings to pluck , and like music my body you play You came up behind me, kissed my neck, while I washed up after dinner tonight Goose bumps on my arms all rise Like a flock of birds all taking flight Foreplay is finished when the house is silent and still and dark Still you love me into the wee hours I fall asleep to the sounds of sky larks.
