I see you sleep, with your back to me
But I don't think it discourtesy;
Nothing so warms my husbandly breast
As seeing you serenely at rest.
I'd wake you up only when there's a need
(I mean one not involving my seed)

On this anniversary date."

That RED hot break you organized!

"Red means danger", they say of signs,
But I'm caught up in your designs.
That silk sheet and your lingerie
Sure weren't meant to deter me.

By the drink that I had taken
My good-bad sense is overtaken.
Like a driver out of control,
Risking parting of body and soul.

No space, time, sense to swerve away,
I crash headlong into the hay,
