Solace Alone

Solace Alone

by Marshal Gebbie

Traces of lassitude 
Slow down to cruising, 
Warmth of the whiskey 
Ameliorates bruising. 
Putting the feet up 
Makes it inane, 
That I'm subtly aroused 
In mouthing your name. 

Subtle arousal 
In tracing the line 
Of your thin cotton undies 
With fingertip fine, 
And watching the smile 
Slide up to your eyes, 
See the blend of your blushing 
In murmured surprise. 

Oh the glorious sunset 
Streams in through the glass 
And the shades refracted 
Nicely contour your a*s 
And the whisky is mellow 
The mood is sublime, 
So the promise of evening 
Improves with time. 

With serpentine moves 
And the grace of an snake, 
You uncoil to your feet 
And you make your escape. 
Mouthing thin fabrications 
And utter wee fibs, 
You flee back to your hearth 
And your husband and kids. 

Solace alone Baby, 
Solace alone, 
With frustration and whisky 
All the lonely way home. 
As the penitent thoughts 
Percolate through unseen, 
My sad mind lingers 
On what might have been.
