i am on the carpet (Free verse) by silvertongueddevil
i am on the carpet and you are on the bed,
and the wine is leaking from the bottle
and both our mouths are drunken
and you believe in love and only love
but the wine it makes you thirsty
and you believe in love and only love
but the evenings leave you winded
and if our doubts had their way
we might both be elsewhere,
but doors and locks and stair flights
conspire to do our thinking
and when we look away we miss
the wine bottle winking to the deadbolt
and the deadbolt nodding to the pillows
and the pillows blowing out the candles.
