Romantic interludes fade
Make way
for toddler “adventures”

Leisurely hours once spent
Turn to brief glances
In the constant passing

To somewhere else we have to be
Where responsibility waits
and schedules reign

Leaving me here
And you there
Except in cerebral image

Where we lay entwined
the clock stops ticking
And all I can see
Is you.
