Monday Morning

I forgot how chilling the west wind was
and how chilling snowfall is
in the morning
when you first get up
out of all your warmth
and sweaty positions,
and I forgot how much you grow
and how much of a rise you get
from the chilly mornings
and the raucous nights,
and we had them all the time
in our past life
and in our old house
and in our candle-lit bedroom,
remember,
and you tore at my clothes
and at my shoulders,
and you tore at your clothes
and your breasts,
and you couldn't stop,
you couldn't even love me then,
you couldn't even think,
and I tell you I forgot how the snow looked,
and you laugh and giggle at me
and smile your naked smile,
and the cold can hit your skin
and make you soft-to-touch
and sexy,
but the morning,
the cool-cold morning,
still wets its appetite on you
and on me,
and on everything from last night
when we danced in the steaming shower,
and when we drank to good health
and to dying young,
and you never stopped smiling
or touching me on the waist
or softly on my shoulders,
just as if you cared,
and it's the morning that takes all that away,
it's the morning that makes everything
new and fresh,
and ready for us to drink away
again tonight.

    i really love the way you have of describing those quiet private moments together with such a tenderness that escapes a lot of people.

    beautiful thoughts, beautiful moments and even more lovely the thought of waking up in the morning looking forward to having another day ahead of you to create new ones.

    You say: "you couldn't even love me then" & later, "just as if you cared"

    Makes me sad.

    Makes me toast love lost.

    And, I sat here wanting to critique this for you teacher, but alas, I cannot!

    Maybe I drank too much.

    he cobbles my shoes when i'm out of town,
    he's a good Leprechaun,
    not like that one that's in my friend's front yard,
    that little bastard will be teh end of me,
    it's a good thing he's hibernating right now.

    A nice one you got, eh?

    Well then you are a lucky fellow!

    Does your friend like his Leprechaun?

    If not, you could always re-locate him while he snoozes! :)

    LOL! Well, you can be the beefeater, okay?

    I see some brown resting in a nice pile of snow over there---oh, beefeater---taste that and let me know if it's Belgian or Swiss chocolate, please.

    I GOT YOU (AT THE END OF THE CENTURY)

    I got you and it's all I need
    I got you and it's all I need
    I got you and it's all I need
    I got you
    I got you and I still believe
    That you're all that I'll ever need
    It's you

    All the way back in the seventies
    You were my little T.V. queen
    Y'er tarzan and friend Janine

    I got you
    I got you and I still believe
    That you're all that I'll ever need
    It's you

    It's the end of the century
    I can't think of anything
    Except you

    It's the end of the century
    And I can't think of anything
    But you, all, all, I, need
    I got you
    I got you, babe
    I got you
    I got you
    I got you
    I got you

    :D Be my boy, my 20th century toy?

    Babe,
    I got you babe,
    When my world is feeling down
    When my smile's turned upsidedown

    I got you
    To unzip your pants
    Let's us do the horizontal dance

    In Bedrock, twitch, twitch. ;)
