A SENSUAL BLUSH

Arguments?

A SENSUAL BLUSH

 

We posture

Cloudy water ripples

Before our threadbare eyes

 

We squabble whilst daylight falls upon us

Like duck’s clack in the lake

Our patois is repellent

We leer, eyes bulge

Hence, we pivot

Indignant rears face each other

Like firewater drunk on misery

 

At dusk we are fatigued, enervated

Our vivacity drained

As rainwater seeps into the earth

We trudge home inaudibly

 

Night descends

Moonlight through our shade less window

Our thirst for harmony magnifies

As the stars illuminate the sky

Our eyes sink beneath our bitterness

Our faces meander from ghost white

To a sensual blush

The creaky bed suggests

A fiery carnal night

If one is to have a restless night, it's best to have it with a good reason.

Nicely done.
Take care - Dave

Aye, never go to sleep angry, kiss and make up, test the springs :)
I'm a great believer in apologies even if they are not mine to make .

Amazing ambiguity! At the end of the day we succumb to our human condition ... needy. Easy to forget the troubles of the day when there's love to be made in the night. This is an interesting thing you write.

Romantic notions after a busy day … Moonlight encounters bring pleasant dreams … while Stars gather to sing 🎶 along with Angel Harps of Gold… tenderly, Pat

Thank you so much for your review Pat; couples inevitably argue over something, but it’s important to resolve before slumber.
