After Dark

Secrets of the night

shared with you,

something we

both enjoy to do,

warbling on

for hours and hours

like chiff chaffs

in perfect togetherness,

with lamps dimmed low

wondering about ifs and buts,

whispers of gentle sighs in

smiling eyes were ours to feel.

You knew in world that passed us by

I couldn't help flitting to a different guy,

when that male unicorn came along

his horn locked on to me,

didn't give myself time to think

just flirted like a peacock in ecstasy,

my colours were sometimes bohemian

like spirit...youthful and free,

loving to dance I'd be like

the greater bird of paradise,

head of hair flying everywhere

chasing my dreams without a care,

till at last you hooked me,

knew I'd found my

life companion to be

in those moments after dark.
