Anita Atina - He lay down after a long day

2014-06-15 3

He lay down after a long day

Of decisions, meeting obligations

Of doing the duties of this world



Oh it felt so good to lie down

Finally, he thought, pulling off his shirt

Stretching out languidly in bed



And then turning over, to relieve his back

Sleeping on his stomach

With lights dimmed


And he wondered

What was she doing

At this late hour, drowsily


She quietly tiptoed in

After a warm shower

Feeling delicious


She poured her favourite

Bitter orange
