PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

it is a question about proximity

and emotions

it’s about sexual proclivity



it’s about sex on your couch

our tussling to near nakedness

then covering up, slipping by

the doors of your children’s bedroom



wondering why you wore earrings

so seldom when we were making love



you should have worn a black skirt more

knowing it would have been skidded

up your hips all too soon



its the unforgettable marvel of watching

you undress in the darkness

and the eventual warmth of you next to me



it’s the sensually acquaintance of your breasts as

your ribs raise and lower with each breath

it’s not having a photo of the spectacle



it’s also the unforgettable debacle

of never spending enough nights together



it’s finding pictures of people

i don’t know in my mementoes

and not the excitement of your lips
