Stay With Me

My Love, these covers are so soft and warm,
So too your flannel jammies ‘gainst my skin,
Let’s hide out here and shelter from this storm,
Says he, first ser’ous, then with knowing grin,

Stay here in bed with me and let’s pretend,
The world is gone and now it’s down to we,
As last two living souls in this godsend,
You be Eve and I’ll be ‘neath fig tree,

With fervent dedication, we’ll begin,
In earnest on this monumental call,
‘Tis journey of a thousand steps therein,
Here’s one; let’s try five more before nightfall,

Me and you, my Dear, let’s always be, 
E’er in love’s embrace; please stay with me.
