(feeling a bit of spring whimsey   )

Were the lights on
Or off
Could one hear us cough
Were the doors
Open or closed
Did we take off our clothes
Could skin
Have been seen
If you were on the scene

Am I still loveable
Are you still huggable
Were we content
With two bodies bent
In proximity
Did they then
Blend with glee
Meld one another free

We walked in the park
A sunny lark
This bright sparkling day
Though it is not yet May

And saw scenes of spring
In each living thing
They met through their dogs
Who were sniffing each other

Others were drifting
Hands from their canoe sifting
While septuagenarians
Just sat and held hands

The birds twitterpated
They not yet were mated
Flying by on another
Not sister or brother

As bees buzzed and swarmed
And the daffodils warmed
By sunlight so yellow
We both felt quite mellow

Eventually back
For warmth we did lack
And found comfort inside
Where you first were my bride
Did we repeat that day
(It still is not May)

I'll give no more clue
The answer's in you


The first duty of love is to listen.

Delightful whimsey, Wilfred!  It does seem that in spring all kinds of fancies are kindled and everyone's in love with something or someone.  Well done!
