Shoes in disarray
Dirty socks in unwanted places
Tie on the table
She cringes
He smiles sheepishly
Unaware of her pain
Her anger
Her disappointment
Irate
Naive
Unaware he was
Ignorant of the imaginary ants on
her skin
The reaction to his disorganized
lifestyle
She speaks
A cry unheard…with a voice
inaudible
The silence was heated
A dangerous calm
Chaos within her being
A silly kiss hits her heated face
He really was unaware
She too was tired
Homely chores awaited her
But she needed to lay her head
upon the soft pillows
To lay beside her mate
Her feet were itchy
But duty called
She sighed as she carried her
fatigued being to the kitchen
Tired
Weary
Sweaty
Sleep deprived
He walks
into his home
And
straight to the bedroom
In search
of solace
Craving
for food and peace
Tie on
the dressing table
Shoes littered
here and there
Socks
free in the air
Up! Up!
Up they went!
And then
like a plane descending the earth, they land safely on the floor
The
thunderous sound of hunger in his belly
He was
drained
A
terrible day it was
Too many
meetings and unwanted confrontations
On the
bed he dumped his weight
Expecting
food and love from his darling mate
She
approaches him
A look
of…
A look
of…hmmmm
A look he
couldn’t decode
He offers
a smile
And blows
a kiss
Just before
he slips into the arms of darkness and peace
He was home
alas!
