The Big Tree, Gauguin, 1899

Drive, he said

 "Drive," he said
 so off they sped
 down dark and winding streets-
 Curves leaning,
 highway weaving
 deep into the night.

 "I need you," she said
 So faster they sped
 rain coming down in sheets-
 Music blaring
 Headlights glaring
 blinded by the light.

 "I want you," she said
 she played with his head
 the wheels were spinning fast-
 Temperature rising
 Quite surprising
 soaring out of sight.

 "I love you," she said
 so lightly he tread
 this adventure could not last-
 Arms invading
 Quite persuading
 Too much love to fight.

 "Slow down," he said
 "Detour ahead."
 Wrong way, one way, turn back-
 Hazards flashing
 Roadway sinking
 deep into the night.
[Unable to display image]
 "I love you," she said
 So, let's go to bed
 there was no turning back-
 Engines' surging
 Warm lips merging
 Driven to love tonight.
