when did our bed
become so big?
so unlike
our first
one
so small
we practically
had to lay on top
each other, all
tangled up
in love.
let's sell all
we own and move
into a sleeping bag
somewhere the
sun will rise
and set
around us.
if you want me.
(like i want you.)

I think we all know how she will reply!! Great work - as always.
I am insanely jealous that there are women in this world who have men who write them things like this... :)
very nice Brian, lots of brownie points comin YOUR way lol :)
I love the suggestion of selling everything you own to move into a sleeping bag ringed by the sun's movements, even as I ponder how such an idea would go over in my household ;)
I love this, Brian!
Whew-hoo! You go, Brian!
I think that you just got some extra points for this!
Something to think about .... :)
Beautiful. Whistful. Love it, Brian.
It must be spring up where you are, thoughts of love and sleeping out, and watching the sun rise and set. SWEEEEET!
I am envious.
You'd LOVE living on a boat!
Sorry I haven't been visiting as often as I'd like, but I've been
having connection issues that I THINK I've solved. Thanks for YOUr
visits & comments :)

love is good and all that, but hey, everyone needs a little space.
Smaller beds=longer marraiges, so the research said.
I grew tired of yanking the comforter back onto my back, so I bought my own!
backache, pain in the neck, I've been called worse!......but not a wet blanket.
Sounds like a winning proposition....lucky girl you have there...

Oooooh, I love that.
there are times when less than is definitely greater than :)

Awww! That is so sweet! I love it and I am sure she will too. But I still have to give props to my king size bed! LOL!!
Hugs

So sweet! My husband and I still have a double bed. I can't imagine a bigger one. :)
Oh that is great Brian! Life in a sleeping bag sounds delicious! Her answer will most surely be yes...but maybe just maybe she will want separate sleeping bags for the children.
You had me at sleeping bag.
I think that you need to book a camping trip real fast! :)
You need to do a workshop, Brian.
Yay, that was awesome!
Ok, so I've decided two things:
1. Your wife needs to do a guest post.
2. You need to start doing a weekly writing prompt for the rest of us novices!
Totally just teasing...only if you want!
Awwwwwww! : )
Funny how the years go by and the bed gets bigger because all the kidlings want to share in the bed hugs! Great writing.
Ahhhhhh....so sweet....Mrs. Brian is a lucky lady!
"all tangled up in love" - I love that.
I think I might need to ask my husband this question as well.
I am slow thinking person,
But I feel the tensity in you.
Have fun with love...
Such a wonderful post, and idea. I think that the stores may all wonder why camping gear is selling so early this spring now. :)
Your creativity is amazing.
You are such a romantic!
Dang it, Brian. You are such a tease. *smiles* I bet your wife is really special.
QUIT HITTING ON ME. WE'RE RELATED, YOU PERVERT!
Sweet, sweet, sweet!
I love cuddling up to my sweet man EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! BUT, maybe NOT in a sleeping bag!
we have always had a "little bed" and love it, except when all 4 kids would want to sleep with us, then I still loved it. :)
We're officially in a King. Our sleeping bag days are over for comfort's sake.
You're such a romantic! T is very lucky!
:)
Ah, Brian, this one kind of made me sad.
We all bring different things to the table, don't we?
Incredible writing, as usual. Thank you.

Simplicity is best, isn't it? Life, houses and beds can become too big for comfort or closeness.
I'm sure she'll want you - she's a smart girl.
Fantastic! It also says so much about how we (I mean "people in general" here, obviously) always seem to get lost in "stuff" and we lose sight of what's important in a relationship.
Excellent poem!
Brian, this one made me cry...and want to sell everything and move into a sleeping bag with Bob.
Beautiful...
So romantic!
I think that is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. Brought a tear to my eye, such love.Take care.
let's sell all
we own and move
into a sleeping bag
That is so beautiful. I loved that. All you need is love. Love is all you need... :)
HELLO!!!!! I skimmed through some of the comments and "sweet" "whistful" and "tears to my eyes" is not what first come mind. So, i'll just say what many left out.
THAT was HOT! So, is the for sale sign up, yet?
Great stuff, I've never moved into a sleeping bag but, weather permitting, it sounds like a great idea.
Oh. I am lost for words.
Your wife is one lucky woman.
;)

My husband's a restless sleeper so I really love our big bed :D
Ah I love the sentiments in the poem Brian, but the practicalities of returning to that small bed of youth are beyond my ageing body which demands space and an acceptable level of comfort. As for sleeping bags : I slept in one recently for the first time in 40 years and was permanently scarred by the experience.
Size Matters!
Love this! I actually stopped by to tell you I've posted your comment in "Commenters Say The Darndest Things" and I'm hoping you won't mind...
also, I'm hoping you'll vote!
Haha Tom's FB comment is now making sense. There's just not enough room for the both of us! Hey but aint it fun trying?
There you go again, making all the other people in the world wish we were you.
But then what happens when the kids & dog need to crawl in during a thunderstorm?
Beautiful, just beautiful!
(from someone who is contemplating buying 2 sleeping bags so we can camp at a festival - but they do zip together)
I missed the point of this one until I read some of the comments posted. All I kept think was how uncomfortable your sleep would be if you gave up you big comfy bed for a cramped sleeping bag.
This is so cool! :-)
first of all, i agree with the comment made by "Me"
second, i have no doubt she will say...let's just sell the bed and get a sleeping bag. remember the kids!! lol
this was really sweet Brian.
thanks for the smile!
The closer the better. Make that a small sleeping bag...
At first I thought you were calling me a bag because I was napping again.
A very sweet poem. We do tend to drift away from each other with all of our wonderful comforts.
Awwwww!
can i borrow this?!? it is awesome i want to make my honey a card and put this in there. i would send you the example. i did one of shadows poem and dulces. you guys are so talented you should open a shop for sweetheart cards, i could design them!!

Greetings!
How do you do?
Best wishes for Thursday Poem,
Remind you the perfect poet award,
please nominate one poet for week 13.
heartfelt thanks.
you are a true professional and a dear friend to have!
You are indeed a romantic! You've left a lot of women sighing wistfully out here.
Okay, Brian, I totally think you're chanelling my current wavelength or something!! My "Drink Up The Stars" song has lines about a sleeping bag for two and sleeping under the stars. & Such. That cooincidence is weird, but synergistic!
And this poem of yours is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!
xo
While snowing in Sept. my wife and I in a tent, shared the same sleeping bag for warmth and survival!
Sweet and awesome. I know a couple who sold most of what they owned and stored the rest to go on a year travel around the world before they settled down and had kids. I thought it was quite exciting and romantic of them.
Oh this is beautiful! Love it.

the most fabulous poet award,
the most curious poet award,
you have outstanding patience looking at the work of others. As a writer, you are extraordinarily talented and intelligent.
Happy Wednesday!
I too have small bed memories. In fact, our small bed was in a small trailer bedroom that was itself so small, that you were either in the bed or you were out of the room.
Well done! Concise yet emotionally powerful...
Alienation gives way to longing for closeness in view of what really matters in this world--love.
Me got awards and dedication for you!
Hope you likey!
hugs

SPRING Award Part One
SPRING Award Part Two

very inspiring posts
Sounds very romantic ;)
Wow Bri! Who knew!! Lol loved it as always. Just breezed by to say hello before I go back and study <3 you man!
reading here is, every time, like picking up a good book and wishing it didn't have to end.
I mean I LIKE you Brian, I really do, but you'll have to throw in a couple of those thick foam pads if You want me to use the other L word
(l.o.v.e) :)
omg.you can have so much fun on a big bed though! turn it into a picnic spot some night or a little tent and only use a flashlight.hehehehe beds are wonderful playgrounds for couples..
enjoy the space - but still share a sleeping bag :)
uh oh. Now I'm embarrassed. I guess I talk other peoples blogs a little too personal.
Taking a second look it seems that question may not have been directed at me.
Wow. Beautiful.
I can't imagine a sleeping bag-- we're still in the large bed that for some reason keeps filling up with kids in the middle of the night stage.
I remember those days...sigh. :)
Another great poem!
well done Brian;intelligently delivered; and funny in a way.
Good job, Brian.
I'll meet you there my love...sans les enfants... :)
Forever & Always
T
(they can come a few days later!)
I know the answer to that one :-)
Nice job.
Love this!! Reminds me that my husband and I use to sleep in a double bed for years and years..every one got queens and finally we did and then we got a king but we held out for as long as we could. Now even in the king I sleep cuddled up to him.
I bet every lady is jealous of your wife.I think it's very manly of you to write something like this.
Wish all men can read this.^-^
just adored the cuteness of this poem. :)
Reminds of that country song "Love grows best in little houses."
Nothing wrong with that scenario.
That´s so cute!
Wow - this one hit close to home for me. Very moving. You are one big romantic teddy bear.
fantastic.
:)
