Im alright
A little up tight
About the fight
We had last night
You came in late
In quite a state
Through the back gate
Must have been fate
Alone in the pool
Water so cool
Silly fool
Began to drool
My body bare
At skin so fair
You did stare
Then a glare
Jealously raged
Anger un-caged
Two towels laid on the stage
Another man you paged
Two glasses of wine
Crystal so fine
One mine
The other a sign
Tromp around the edge
Look behind the hedge
Over the ledge
In the chair you wedge
You look at me
Your tears I see
What could this be
How could he
You so misguided
Me you had chided
My anger subsided
You must be righted
Tonight you see
For you and me
The year twenty-three
We wed under the tree
Your gift in the sack
My tears I held back
Your trust I did lack
My heart on the rack
Your eyes said it all
How the proud fall
I walk down the hall
After me you call
I lay in bed
My back to your head
This moment I dread
Water we tread
Below the covers you slip
Your hand on my hip
A kiss from your lip
How to repair this rip
The silence deafening
In my ear it does ring
What could you bring
To restore the promise made before the King
You feel my body shake
Into your arms you take
Our tears form a lake
In hurts wake
A kiss on my ear
A whisper, a tear
I tremble in fear
Our twenty-third year

Hi L J,
I`m glad to see you reposted some of your older stuff. You have some real gems over on the old site. I`ve always loved the sentiments and flow of this one...
"I lay in bed
My back to your head
This moment I dread
Water we tread"...
Always loved that verse. Take care. Thumb
