Anniversary Waltz
by Bill Yarrow
She prayed that he would live forever
He worshipped her exuberant lips
She loved the size of his mustache
He rode the highway of her thighs
She climbed the hill of his condition
He biked the path of her delight
She broke his dreams against her fears
He cut his eyeteeth on her tongue
She planted the vine of his desire
He watered the garden of her heart
