Smooth out the bed <br />Let it not be said <br />That true love lay here, <br />Or here conceived, <br />In tongue and deed, <br />Unbanished fear. <br /> <br />Tear up the sheet <br />And then delete <br />Your heart’s desire, <br />Conceal, cheat <br />And then repeat, <br />Just hide the fire. <br /> <br />Both sheets are wet; <br />Mine would beget <br />Our mortal life; <br />But flame is set <br />And blazes yet… <br />Consumes our strife. <br /> <br />2.14.05<br /><br />Linda Hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-sheets/
