As I Sit Here Singing An Old Love Song

by Tony Whitaker

Smiling, my mind
wanders on its own
as I sit here singing
an old love song

All those girls and nights
a lone time gone
anticipation and the moment
or going home alone

A headstone at midnight
the soft new grass
making love as I look up
and reading who passed

Now“a cold girl will kill you
in a darkened room…”
but want a night to remember?
make love on a tomb

OK, the creepies are out today in more than one poem - yes, I would say all senses would be fully awake making love on a tomb. Ha!!

Hey, what a way to ridicule death! The tomb could be lonliness or rejection or any number of those darker moments we scare away with the making of love.
