That Was Then

By: Fee

In the shadows of the oak trees

We used to watch the squirrels play

When the Robins used to serenade us

While we shared a summer day

I used to brush my fingers gently

Just on the legal side of lust

Teasing bare flesh I’d discover

Your eyes would close in trust

Sneaking feels if no one looking

Stirring fires sparks ignite

Sometimes we’d play all afternoon

Often late into the early night

And when the kids were put to sleep

We’d closed our bedroom door

Naked in the window’s moon glow

We’d make sweet love once more

Then with sweat cooling on bodies

Laughing as skin sticks to skin

We’d fall asleep in each other’s arms

To let forever dreams begin…
