Seems a Lifetime

In bed with you, The swallowtails, I count their dots. In bed with you, Inside this box, the splinter rue. This garden floats with spectral spots. You seem cold now; I had the hots, In bed with you. Above the fray, Where grass is green, and swans be loud. Above the fray, Clouds black and blue, the bullets spray. The kissing lips of peril, proud, With barely friends away from crowd. Above the fray. Seems a lifetime Ago, our laughter gonged from bell. Seems a lifetime Lasts longer than a couple’s dime. The ducks matter, but he wouldn’t tell. Not in a row - all is not well. Seems a lifetime…
