Add More Fire To These Scenes Poem by Louise Tredoux

Rudi’s return has been deferred, spent the day crying,
I hate it when Rudi’s away, though Wiedersehen is so
wonderful and absence makes his presence sweeter;
I lament losing the sparkle he adds to every day

I shall cry until my bitter feelings are washed away, then
construct a romantic fantasy of a happy return, imagining
delight, visualizing joy, rehearsing words I would like to
say, though to be forgotten when he appears

Simply for the enjoyment of experiencing these scenes in
my mind repeatedly; naughty thoughts already making me
smile, such outrageous scenes of passionate love, enough
to make directors of blue movies blush

Thinking thoughts on red-hot romance that would scare timid
souls away, involving deliciously impossible moves; cringing
in embarrassment should someone else be able to read my
mind and see these wild scenes enacted there

I hope the angels are discrete and look the other way, right now,
I’m smiling and laughing and blushing something awful; oh, how
lovely to have an unbridled imagination, though such acts are
possibly too difficult to execute in real life

The enjoyment can’t be taken away; wish I could record these
scenes to show Rudi when he comes – better not, he’ll think
me a pervert; I laugh, thinking of him – probably not; he’s
likely to add more fire to these scenes!
