One Night Stand (in the Gray Pew)
I didn't plan on deception,
But those Grey Eyes held me as if I were Prey.
Yes. I saw the Wedding Ring.
But by that Time, Thought had
Long been locked down, dazed.
Then Time
Fell
away
&
An Animal Instinct
Came to play
with
My Reasoning
as if
Night
were
Day.
Suddenly, there was
Dawn
Pouncing
On my Eyes!
I fled, wordless--away!
& Only then
-----Realized,
It was the Sabbath.
Time to Pray.
And as the Service hit the Air
I made my own internal prayer:
" Dear God,
who now has
3 very good reasons
To hate my Guts,
Thank you, for the Color Gray.
About this poem
Not my brightest decision But the color Gray never looked brighter.
