Undercurrents

 

You knew by their faces,

Especially when together,

That within minutes they

Could create tsunamis

And a disaster area in a

Water bed, or anywhere

For that matter,

Today in a reflective

Mood she spoke about

 The little things that

Others don’t see, the

Undercurrents that on

The water can kill you,

But in love keep the

River flowing,

Those unexpected

Breakfasts in bed,

Dinner on the lawn

Under the moon,

The drive in to town,

The mock finger fights

Over the radio buttons,

Always waiting for a

Commercial before

Changing her station

To check on the scores,

How she found it sexy

That he did his own

Ironing, her friends

Changed the subject

To complaining and I

Found it interesting

That most of them

Were on their second,

Third or more go round,

She was still on her first,

Still beaming, still madly

In love, I smiled as

I pulled another espresso,

Undercurrents, the world

Needs more undercurrents.
