Married but

Simplicity beckons me 

To play with her straight strands of hair cropped a little shorter than I would’ve liked

Simplicity lures me 

To rest my head on her bosom somewhat flatter than I would’ve loved

But

Tonight I must go home and sleep with my Complexities, like a married man.

It's simple, it's complex, and it's poetry.?
