Nappyhair poetry: I Remember The Times

I remember the times

Waking up at the break of dawn

Nestled sweetly in your arms

Listening to your quiet

Snoozing, in sweet harmony

With the happy chirping of the early birds

When we would make

Blueberry pancakes on Sunday mornings

Stayed in bed all day long while

Reading the paper, a book or watching TV.

When we needed to be close, we would

Dance, slowly all night long,

Holding each other in our arms

While swaying to the songs of love on the radio

We often sang the words to our favorite songs

I was the chores you were the bridge

Singing to each other the lyrics but the words

Were always wrong

We would play

Heated games of

Backgammon, you said

I cheated, and I said you did

In the end you would always

Let me win

Hoping to get lucky

In the end

In the mist of many a quiet evening

With you lying in my arms

Watching the colors of the slowly setting sun

Those were the best of days

I use to think about you all day

When I couldn’t wait

Rushing home to you

Eager to see your smiling face

And make sweet love

To my lover and friend

I remember the times

We were lovers
