The Hotel Room

Clutching the covers

So high off you I might fly away

You’ve got your skirt pulled up twirling in impossible directions

As a kid the roller coasters made my stomach churn

But the way you move makes my heart burn

I can tell you’re uncertain by your eyes

Yes, some play it safe with these kind of things

Create rickety boats to navigate the treacherous waters of marriage

But I’d rather plunge into passion than capsize

“I”..but she holds a finger to my lips

“Shh baby you’re talking too much”

And then she’s there and I’m there but we’re both off somewhere

Any poetic attempt at description couldn’t be fair

I was lost without a care when you pulled away and I was met with a blank stare

And the dream always ended there

Alone in my mind with fantasies playing themselves out in shadows on the wall

Guess we all have moments of desire that taunt us

Have to check out soon

And leave this hotel room behind
