Should I Stay or Should I Go?

The night began on a log cabin porch

Sun drifting lazily under the tree line

The sounds of oven birds and loons to complement the mood

With you by my side it could not have been better

We sat and we watched

With cold beers in hand

Talked travel and good times

And of that which would come

And as the day waned away

The colours came out to play

A lake shimmers purple

Under our northern sunsets glow

We drank and we laughed

Asked beer for life and scratched

You had to etch

Damn corona

And as the day turned to night

With the stars came more friends

More beers

More laughs

This is truly the place to be

To watch you smile is really a gift

But then kicked the beers and a desire to drift

Lets go swimming

And down to the lake we went

Dancing and falling along the path

We reached the beach

Do you want to have fun?

Of course.

So we stripped from our clothes

Left dry on the shore

Ran to the edge and jumped into the black

Chilly, but warm

This was a good idea

Swimming around you and floating together

Shared kisses and smiles while staying above

Its cold now

Out we must run

Share bodies, share heat

We walked to the top, stumbling here and there

A warm shower it seemed would be so nice a treat

The wash house was deemed, a solid retreat

Gain warmth

Your eyes and your smiles belie your main grief

So let me away you to the comfort of home

Your bed and your sheets offer more than just sleep

We can talk until day breaks

And whisper or kiss

Are you awake?

Yes.

Do you want to have fun?

To hug and to hold, is to keep from the cold

For this I am here

I will not turn away

The strange feeling in the morning

As though I knew I must pretend

This is not your desire

And from here you repent

I will shade what I feel

For hopes I can steal

That one morning kiss

Before I dismiss

I should go.
