Our secret world



We laugh as you douse my flame again

A battle long fought, well played

So many years of thrust and parry

Yet I always let you carry the day

 

We are not a matched couple

Once a month with naughty talk

A touch and shake of the head

And then a kiss of sweet goodbye

 

We go for a meal and laugh

With talk of life and nonsense

Drinking wine and me holding

One of your little fingers

 

We never validate our love

Why should we proclaim it?

It is there for all to know

This means just the two of us.

  4. Ah, this sounds like a relationship of convenience where the passion has long since departed! Well penned.
