There are gracious moments
usual things get instantly elevated,
clothes hung on display
in these glamorous closets
I’ve never seen eyes this wide.
Everything was so oversized
bathroom mirrors stretched the room.
Pulling our images along the edge
the tub was enough for both of us.
We played with the idea, but
the suds would have to wait
the sun was setting, giving up
to the jealous moon.
We moved on to another part
this off colored carpeted room
the couch in the middle was obvious,
she knew what its shape meant.
The bedroom had chiffon ties
on all four corner posts.
Reservations were coming
it took a few tries to get dressed,
sparkles complimented her mood.
The balcony begged a look
something about this blurry night
having all those city eyes
we toasted our inner voyeur
from forty floors up.
Numb with anticipation to hurry back,
I had to drag her away,
we promised a quick dinner
and back to the hotel room
before the weight door
closed on itself.
