Peace Pecks On Charming Cheeks Poem by John Sensele

Cross the Rubicon
Casting your mind's eye on the prayerful picture
Prodding the savvy substance beyond the silicon
Wafer to tweak the solution structure

Lying superimposed on paths to bliss
Wrapped up in haystacks
In which your nobility needle settled the day a new lease
Of life flew into your arms if only you could send her plea packs

Teeming with words of contrition
For the abrupt attitude you showed
For no reason to wage a war of attrition
Needless, thoughtless, cuddle caprice owed

To bad blood that flew into the head
You vowed to keep in check
Or it would leave your love dead
In its tracks if you couldn't plant the peace peck

Ruth expected on her charming cheeks
After she caught you red-handed stealing sugar from her best friend
Several weeks in which she exposed bags of tricks
Whose only effect confirmed a trend

Ruth urged you to terminate
In an effort to consolidate the home
Where the stability of your marriage would germinate
After escapades and blades of frustration in Rome.
