Premium Membersorry I cannot marry you

she attended a wedding one week before her wedding was to be
priest said never marry someone in your life you do not want to forever see
forever is a long time, so make sure you are proud of them
She went home troubled, knowing she had to break up with Tim
He had caused her heartache, his betrayals were many
Including being caught in a tryst with her friend Penny
She told him I am sorry, I cannot marry you.
He knew it was right; this did not come out of the blue.

Quietly
you enter,
and with feline
stealth, pick your 
way through the
darkness of
our bedroom.
My senses, 
honed
over the years
like radar to
hear the pings
of children’s cries,
pukey wretching,
and troubled
hearts and spirits
detects you
as you silently
remove your clothing,
the wisp of your
nightgown falls 
with a slight breeze
over your
outstretched arms,
you slip within the
sheets. “Are you
sick?” I quietly
ask, as I turn
my warm body
to embrace the
coolness of yours.
“They were overstaffed,”
you softly reply,
and I slip contentedly
back to sleep,
our marriage bed
complete.
