Bed Time

Do you talk in bed? Or do you read instead. Or do you both lay there In silence. Wondering where Life had gone wrong. Wedded bliss gone for a song. What about those next door? Do they talk or just snore. Is their life that boring Night taken up with snoring. What about those in the next street Do they mutter under the sheet? Time in bed before sleep robs agility A twilight time when mind lacks ability. The time when the light is out Is to find something to talk about. And to go to bed with a kiss Is something not to miss.
