“A Fireside Romance”

Say, Lovely, it’s Friday and I’m teeming with ideas
but tonight I’ll play it a bit smarter,
Temperature’s dropping to cuddle-her Celsius
Would you mind if I be your firestarter?

I’ve got just the touch with hickory logs and such
For an intimately mesmerizing burn,
Let me take your coat, I know your needs by rote
Your work week is now officially adjourned

Let’s put away the armor and the bullet-proof dress
and cast astray the executive power struggle,
You’ve entered the den of my pampering sanctuary
Woman, I’m ready to huddle and snuggle

Dark clouds are forming over the face of the moon
with a reasonable chance of morning showers,
I’ve got the jambalaya on tender slow simmer
We’ll enjoy these very sacred hours

Together, perhaps I should unloose the tether
extending from my mind to your heart,
My philosophy is nary to stifle a woman
For freedom plays a significant part

Of romance in its bare-naked truth and essence
The time apart only heightens the return,
I was taught to love a woman the old-fashioned way:
The passcode to her inner vault must be earned

Put the effort and work in, no corner cuts or spin
Make certain her comfort zone remains intact,
Say what you mean and be true to your thoughts
And write the words with no need to redact

Easier said than done when feelings have begun?
True enough: Love is no perfect science,
It’s why I suggest one heartbeat at a time
On that I offer you my reliance

And warmth from the cold, I want you in my fold
With me, girl, you’ve won the romance lotto,
Now sit back and relax and enjoy the fire’s language
While I pour us your favorite moscato

It’s romantic downtime along with quiet-sounds time
And a fab dinner is only moments away,
Please find the gift bag at the base of the coffee table
After all . . . it’s Pamper-Her-Friday.
