From My Bed

From My Bed

I can pour my own drink,
read, alone, a book in bed,
or watch T.V. 'til four a.m.

but also enjoy our pillow talks,
when you fall asleep listening to me
and I lay awake as you snore

prefer not one over the other,
but relish I have both.

Honestly, our whole marriage has been like this as he works nights at times - and I must admit (he who thinks it's almost a "sin" to eat in bed and I think it a luxury) well, maybe it is why we've been married almost 30 years...

This is linked with "Imaginary Garden with Real Toads - Song Prompt News from Your Bed".  Pick a line from the song and use it in a poem.  I used the line "I can pour my own drink".

Also linked with "NaPoWriMo" - National Poetry Month, a celebration of poetry which takes place each April, was introduced in 1996 and is organized by the Academy of American Poets as a way to increase awareness and appreciation of poetry in the United States.
