The Pool Table (Adult)
Gray clouds shift from left to right
A storm is brewing, may last all night
Tree leaves ruffling in the wind
She heads for her house, hides in the den
She feels so safe in that special place
No thoughts of storms, just of his face
Though it is pouring and gives a scare
She know she’s safe for now, in there
Remembering…
He pulled her into his big strong arms
Saying he’d protect, keep her free from harm
They walked slowly to the billiard table
Romantic, the two, like Dietrich and Gable
Smiling, demurely, she leaped to the table
Seeing it was strong and ever so stable
She motioned for him to come over to her
After that moment, it became just a blur
She played a new game of billiards for sure
Cue sticks and balls were thrown to the floor
The two were having fun playing there on the felt
As she reached for her lover and pulled off his belt
The two now aglow by the pool table light
Had worked up some heat on the dark rainy night
Then, intertwined, hearts raced out of control
Love making went on, absorbing each soul
Now…
Thinking of that night when they shared that time
The happiest of feelings had all come to mind
The fear in her head and then in her heart
Had drifted away from her there in the dark
