These Resplendent But Dangerous Times

New Lovers are interesting creatures

Primping our feathers and polishing tongues

So that rehearsed stories slip out with ease

Ahhhhhh...these resplendent but dangerous times

The preening and waxing of word, as the hands of the clock move

Become less playful lures and more so ... expectant promises

That can resemble and feel like chain link

Ahhhhh...these resplendent but dangerous times

Oh but the temptation to throw caution to the wind is too strong

We tear off our clothes and dive into love's depths

And we forget our mother's caution "Still Waters Run Deep!" 

Ahhhhh...these resplendent but dangerous times
