Secret Rendezvous

I was happily married, but there
was something I adored.
 I couldn't resist the temptation,
of needing something more.

 So good to feel on my warm 
lips, I couldn't wait.
 In the middle of the night, I
didn't feel guilty, or hesitate.

 I snuck out of the bedroom, not
wanting to wake my wife.
 My conscience didn't bother me,
as I dreamed of this, all night.

 Quietly I went downstairs, for 
my secret rendezvous.
 Open the refrigerator door, and
had three scoops.

I wanted to lead the reader in the wrong direction, lol. My wife when I showed her this poem told me to get her some vanilla ice dream lol. It reminded her of when she sometimes has an urge to indulge in ice cream and the fridge is empty. So she made me run up to the Ice cream parlor to get some lol. She smiled after reading the poem and said from now on I am walking down in the middle of the night to make sure you are just getting ice cream. Lol. My response was , you know me better than that. Thank you for stopping by Valsa. Blessings to you...
