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!
