Step through door

Drop work bags

Lover frowns

As I sag

Takes my hand

Pulls me close

Softly quotes

Lover's prose

Walks with me

Down short hall

Draws hot bath

As I stall

Clothes are dropped

At the door

Fingers roam

Water pours

As I sink

Into heat

Smell beef stew

Hunger beats

Bones grow warm

Eyelids droop

Quiet mind

Soul gives whoop

While I eat

Lover's stew

Eyes collide

Sparks renew

Steamy thoughts

Flit through head

Later twine

In our bed

As our dreams

Softly drift

Thankful for

Lover's gift

Heart's not blind

Lover's kind

Thoughtful mind

Love aligned
