The Holiday Inn: A Love Poem

---

I loved to watch you comb,

Your scarlet, falling hair,

I loved how when you pressed the sheets,

I threw them everywhere,

---

I loved the way you grabbed a hand,

A tender, reckless greed,

I asked about the morning,

You laughed insistently,

---

Tempted by a few more moments,

In the golden hour,

Of a night that wouldn’t last,

You dressed, I had a shower,

---

I loved you in the morning,

And watched you pass on by,

Loving love, and bringing hope,

A love I left behind.
