Pamper me with honeysuckle dreams

Make me forget about tomorrow

Sing love ballads out of key

With a knowing look and a wry grin

All the inside jokes and stories

Shared remembrances of sweet days

Are the milk and bread we shall eat

In between sojourns in the sheets

Spoil me with the gift of your time

I in turn will share with you mine

When we are blissfully replete

Put powdered valerian root in my tea

Allow me to sleep longer in your arms

To forget that this is a passing affair

Which dissipates as the morning mist

Evaporating with the rising sun

— B.
