Take Me Home

Crazed by the beer,
not to mention the Jack Daniels,
I see you as beautiful
on the bar stool beside me.

I see you as all the wondrous things
I’ve ever imagined a woman could be,
and I want you desperately – and worse,
I need you beyond your wildest dreams.

Another beer,
another JD,
and I’m insanely in love
with the way your mascara has smudged your cheek,
the taste of your lipstick,
your perfume – god, your perfume . . .

Another beer,
to hell with the Jack,
take me home,
take me home,
so we can consummate
our anniversary.

Oh.....after playing in bars all these years, I really enjoyed the scenes here!!!  And especially loved the happy ending...great write, and one for my 'keepers'.....~S~

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~S~
