With the world closing in, when we need to un-wind,
what good fortune to find such an intimate place.
For, it seems as this table for two were designed
with such purpose in mind, and, such style and grace,
that to this very day, all the rest fades away.

There're no crises to solve when it's comfort we seek.
We need only to speak what the other must hear,
for it seems that this table for two is unique
to affording a peek, when I lend her an ear
that the world just might see us share intimately.

Let them gossip and stare! We've no cause for regret.
From the first time we've met, it has been a delight,
for it seems at this table for two where we set,
there is much to do yet, and, it only seems right
that without any shame, we play intimate games.

Judge us not for our sins, a young girl, an old man,
with the world closing in, that was how it began.
So complex! We discuss what appears as this ruse,
from our table for two, I alone, and my muse.

I'm not even setting the table for two these days... that other party is too often a no-show! *S*

I enjoyed this! *S*

My must is often way too mean to take a meal with...

But, Doc..you have a nice muse, she shines

She must be equally encouraging, to have you write such loving words...how delicately balanced, perfection!

Oh, I love your muse, and this, Sir...
is a definite repost for years to come...
bring her back every Christmas, Sir...
that we might smile, and enjoy
her guiding light!
