Sunday Muse Poem -- Curtains and Shades

 Pull the Shade 

Beautiful sheers 

But if you want privacy 

Then pull the shade 

What goes behind 

Closed shades, that we never tell 

Secrets we keep 

Peep show we're not

Imagination fills the blanks

Show and don't tell 

Curtains do tease 

Shadows reveal and give hints 

Of what's not seen 

Privacy's needs 

Call for pulling down the shade 

You make that call

(Waiting for my forever love) 

I'm in wait mode longing for you

   Please come 

And sit with me once more, make love 

   to me 

My bench is empty since you've gone

   again 

I miss you so terribly much 

   sidewalk 

Is wet, clammy, makes your nose run 

   not good

(I'll shoo away the leaves and squirrels)

The Waltmarie form has two syllables for every second line.  They should make a ten syllable poem independently.

Today is Mrs. Jim's and my 48th Wedding Anniversary 

 [ http://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2013/01/feline-friday-another-alley-cat.html ] 
We were departing from Auckland, New Zealand, on a three week holiday, around NZ down and to the west, then west to Tasmania,  and up to Sydney, Australia, where we stayed four days. Our 2012-2013 Australia and New Zealand Holiday, Aus-NZ 

I am scheduled for my left eye cataract surgery tomorrow.  I had the right eye done two weeks ago, it made as big difference helping me to see clearly out of it again.  Mrs. Jim has had hers several years and loves them.  BTW, she is a bit younger than me, not too much though.  I was waiting until I failed the driving test for my license renewal.  I didn't' wear glasses except some times to read small print.
