Pour Me Some Wine, My Love
We lounged on the back deck as twilight fell
and gazed as tiny fireflies cast a spell.
As Nature placed her glory on display,
we sipped red wine, reflecting on our day.
We’d had a scrumptious meal my love prepared,
and then a soothing bubble bath, we shared.
On cool silk sheets, we’d shared . . . oh, so much more
till both of were sated to the core.
We’d watched a Lifetime romance on TV
and swayed to tunes we love by Kenny G.
We didn’t wash one dish or make the bed.
“The maid will do those things!” my lover said.
“Of course, she will. We’ve better things to do.”
I said. “I’m ready for the back-lawn view.”
That’s when we got the wine and went outside.
A place like this is such a source of pride--
Out front car doors were slamming, and we knew
to all that splendor we must bid adieu.
The owners of the home returned too soon!
We fled through woods on paths lit by the moon.
