(Heavy Breathing)

My dearest Padawan, I have something, just for you

The droids reminded me, to give you something blue

Oh yes, and something red, although, I prefer all black

The elevator’s calling us, let’s move in, toward the back

No one else will follow us, trust me, this is true

But should they get too close, they’re easy to subdue

We can be together, all alone, in this elevator

You can be my chosen one, and I can be your Vader

(Snickering laugh)
(Back to heavy breathing)

Take these flowers, please, they’re making me wheeze!

A little levity on this day of passion and love! 😉 This was my original poem for ~M’s challenge. Then I just made it silly lol ❤

We don’t need an elevator
To celebrate our love
Too many people
In between, try to
Push and shove
What we need
Is a little place
(Secret hideaway)
Where we can be
Alone
Today
And every day

Mystery shrouds, in a misty dawn

Spirits converge, on clouded morn

Gathering, while the city sleeps

About the landscape, silently creep

As not to awaken the human race

Whose shadows linger in this place

For while they dream, of tomorrow

Others mourn, in unearthly sorrow

Until the fog lifts, and the air, clear

They’ll live in a silent, funereal drear

In a quaint little coffee shop, across the street

The town folk get together, to have a little treat

Every morning, like clockwork, they arrive at eight

To get their favorites, from a gal, they call her Kate

Now, let me tell you a bit, about this dear ole lady

Some folks say her coffee’s, tasting kind of shady

They claim it has a hint of peach, just a bit fruity

But Kate says no, it can’t be, blaming it on Judy!

The folks suspect, they’re in cahoots, those two

Even the tea was off, smelled like hazelnuts, eew!

Seems the lovely ladies, had been having some fun

Switching up the drinks, before the day was done

They began to laugh, thinking they had pulled a gem

Until the folks, tossed the drinks, right back at them

It’s the month of LOVE, and Colleen hasn’t let us down with her challenge! This week, her words are Meaning and Passion. Remember, synonyms only!!

Written as a Etheree, my synonyms are Essence and Frenzy.

Our
Essence
Symbolic
Of love’s true heart
A beating rhythm
Racing to a frenzy
Until the excitement ebbs
Leaving us spent in a sweet bliss
And the moment lingers quietly
As we lie safely in each other’s arms
