Couples

 Couples conversing in bed

Should be saying what needs to be said

About kids and the ex

About money and sex

But they’re talking trivia instead


“I love you,” is what they should hear

Before all the lights disappear

A peck on the lips

A pat on the hips

A warm loving body so near


Snuggling before falling asleep

Makes dreams come softly and deep

In the morning you wake

With a memory to take

That’s so sweet that you just want to weep


Her body lies withered and old

It’s a body you still want to hold

For beauty may fade

But the love time has made

Is a thing more precious than gold
