~~~~

The bathtub fills.
Vanilla candles are lit,
ivory rose in color.

The tree stands
still in the wind.

An arrow is shot
using Cupid's bow - 
spreading attraction throughout.

An old ashtray whirls
through the streets.

The serenade has begun,
hearted band aids ripped off
exposing old wounds.

The tree sways,
bowing to the wind's force.

Red silk boxers are shed,
two enter the tub,
warm liquid surrounding them.

The ashtray lands in the garbage
disposing of the ancient pains.

Happiness, Elation,
Bliss
Fill the water.

The End.
