Poetry: Anticipation

by Charmaine Lloyd

A whimsy...

Lay me down on petalled bed
Slay green monsters in my head
Teasing me, rejection's past
Kill them lover, chase them fast
Twirl my dreams in golden arms
Sing "forever", whispered psalms
Kiss my pout, you took so long
Prize the dimples in my thong
Brush my hair, and catch my tears
Smile sweet twinkles to lost years
Kiss my nose and tuck me in
Climb right in for nights of sin.
