Love's blind touch gropes in our dark <br />and I hear you giggle <br />reveling in the hide and seek <br />in your cape of satin sheets <br />the lights out <br />pitch black <br />the only sound <br />is of stealthy breathing <br />which first lurks <br /> <br />and then leaps <br /> <br />straight onto my back <br /> <br />I shriek the shriek <br /> <br />and you the vampire bat <br /> <br />clutch my trembling neck <br /> <br />yelling gitty up! gitty up! <br />and I fall <br /> <br />down pretending dead <br /> <br />as you pause <br /> <br />unseen in the dark <br /> <br />and then I rise <br /> <br />and blind leap <br /> <br />catching you hiding <br /> <br />at the side of the bed; <br /> <br />you shriek <br /> <br />and outside the kids bang on the door <br /> <br />saying <br />'if you two don't <br />cut it out <br /> <br />we're calling 911.' <br /> <br />Let us in! <br /> <br />We giggle; <br />crouched inside.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-s-touch-2/
