Romantically Bitten

A romantic evening in the dark
Blanket on a hill
Bucket of ice with wine inside
Glasses already chilled
A soft caress upon my cheek
A nibble down my neck
His tickling toes intertwine
My hair dangles on his chest

An itchy arm and heating back
I dare not say a word
Perhaps it was just one or two
A hill would be absurd
Then he jumps up
I scream and shout
Red bumps begin to grow
The wine now spilled
The blanket tossed
Ants covering the scene

In a flash we're at the car
Wondering what to do
The moon so full
Pleaded our case
Stars twinkled bright and clear
The moment new
He picks a rose
Blooming on a bush nearby
I hold his body close to mine
Scratching ant bites on the sly
