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
