romance is tawdry
your lips are harmony
and your hips
beckon for excitement
the kitchen overlooks
the trees, changing
to a naked forest
the apartment is bare
and you should be in
the middle of your third
gin & tonic on a saturday night
the dance of ice in your glass as if
they were chimes from the breeze
through the sky light window
your elbows in the sink
your smile radiating towards
the bare necessities of the wilderness
and the clap of thighs demanding
a curtain call
you and i squeezing
tawdry into harmony
with romance
like a sprig of parsley
coloring the palette
This is wonderful. The simplicity and similes used make it pure and true. Beautiful work.
