Poem: "The Trouble With No"

"The Trouble With No"

The door swings open
as you leave
for the last time
as memory starts to fade
I hear the birds outside
chirping mournfully

Your cup of coffee
sits untouched on the counter
the morning paper
on the table unread

Last night
with you
was incredible

You decided
to wear a low cut top
and your favorite jeans
with your hair down

We went out to the park
and sat under the sky
we talked of the future
and watched the stars
as they faded and streaked
across the face of night

You took my hand
and whispered softly
of your desires and dreams
as we kissed over and over
our bodies pressed up against
one another

We went home
later that night
and you slipped
into something
more comfortable

The lights turned down low
you kissed me once
I turned away
trying to fight you off

But you wrapped your arms
around my waist and
pulled me onto you
and, before I could protest
you kissed me hard
and gazed with those
perfect eyes

And the rest
was enraptured
in sweet surrender.
