Las Olas

The waves rush
Up the beach like
Lovers embrace after
Too long apart becoming
One as others across time
Have similarly shown the
Passion we feel in love
Though as the years
And decades pass
We take passion
With a smile as
We no longer
Need to do
Show but
Rather
Show
Patience
Youth lacks,
Once you are
A couple over a
Few decades you
Please each other as
Politeness aware of their
Feelings glad to help her get
Off her daily routine and
Nothing expected in
Exchange since
Though she
Could fix
Her own
Meal it
Is pleasant
For her to be
Served at a more
Formal setting
The meal just
Seems to
Be better
Much
The
Same
As passion
Just gets better
With age and our
Familiarity makes us
Better able to set the table
Knowing what goes
Where the value
Of a small pre
Dinner salad
Candles a
Sherbet
Main
Course
A nice dessert
And no dishes to
Do or put away
When we just
Want to relax
Digest lean
Back and
Smile as
Las Olas
The waves
Just keep coming.
