Away For Two

by Blue-Stubby

Meet me at the lamp post
after the suns' hid a spell;
A trio of heartfelt words
my lips so long to tell.

Keep it as a secret
that we plan to rendezvous
and I'll lift you in my arms
whispering I love you.

We'll run to Jacob's barn,
go climbing up in the hay
and hold you like I dream of
'till sunrise wakes the day.

We can't lay lingering
past the cooing morning dove;
It's back to the trellis when
we've filled up with our love.

As your Father's daughter,
you are his bright shining sun
but I am the hired help
fearing hot lead from his gun.

When I am the foreman
of his flourishing estate,
I will come calling proper
swinging the front yard gate.

At this hour we embrace
taking love close to the edge
and hopefully time itself
won't drive a parting wedge.

This piece is a simple attempt to tell a story that has been so many times by lovers that hide away and steal moments of loving passion. The 6-7-7-6 meter was an attempt the find a consistent flow with inverted and lengthier center body lines within each stanza.
Nothing fancy or outrageous, just a form within which my story was constructed.
