DREAM LOVER
I looked into scintillating eyes
I seemed to have missed the memo
That said beware of wolves and spies
Such as was this loathsome fellow
Handsome is as handsome does
Is what mama used to say
But that act was so handsome because—
My grin is on display
A wolf disguised, could do no harm
He came across as meek
And went right in with valiant charm
Kissed me on the cheek
Before I knew what had occurred
I turned to meet his mouth
And was lost in love’s embrace
Inhibitions going south
His mouth and hands worked miracles
On flesh so long neglected
Not like octopus tentacles
For I’d not a snare detected
He’d kissed and wooed and quieted me
With not only words but action
‘Twas certain he had captured me
And elicited reaction
I stretched and reached toward his arms
Woke in time to discover
That he who loved with ardent charms
Was my husband and my lover!
