We Need To Get Away

A mix of playful and frisky

When I wrote this, I was feeling playful and just a little frisky.  It’s a poem that expresses both feelings. It’s loving, but with a little bit of tongue-in-cheek humor.

I hope you enjoy it …

We Need to Get Away

Have I told you lately
how good you smell
when the shower
spits you out?

I can't recall
the last time,
but it doesn't surprise me,
considering the time
we actually spend
together these days.

I do remember
how intense it used to be
with us.

We need to get away,
just the two of us,
before we grow any ruts
in this road
we’re on.

Let's go somewhere now,
before talking dirty
really means:

"You doing a light load?
Can you grab my pj's
from the hook
on the bathroom door?"

Before wanna catch a quickie?
really means:

"I'm tired. Wanna take a nap?"

Let’s get in the car and go,
before Oh God, I'm coming!
really means,

"Hun, don't nag me.
I'm almost ready.
Go ahead, start the car."

Let's go somewhere, now,
while Baby, that was fantastic!
still means more than

a Sunday Scrabble win.

It's not too late ...
I remember.
