Things Packed Away
Include thoughts
Too Long Unkissed

To long unkissed
a woman's lips
hunger for the
taste that she
has missed

the passion
locked inside
her eyes betray
an emptiness
inside
Too long untouched
her body craves
two arms to hold
her near reviving
human wants

she feels the
need to be
embraced in ways
she can not
hold herself

Too long unloved
an ache deep in
her heart reveals
smoldering embers
of desire

they fuel a warming
hearth that seeks a
mantle to ignite
her lamp

Too long denied
she feels the
the sensual pain
that makes her
whole

it slowly warms
the coldness that
chills her human
need just to be
kissed
Hidden and Forbidden


Her cotton gown is armor against her daytime enemy. She shares the bed as a shaky truce renews itself each night. Turned backs mark boundaries of a no man's land where open warfare remains forbidden. The bedroom is the last frontier of crumbling passions long ago.
The soft down of the comforter isolates her from the focus of her unhappiness.
Her mind replays shots of misery fired at her heart. "I won't eat this; you spend too much; lose weight; can't you clean up; leave me alone."
She reacts by simply shielding herself from the despair. She wonders why she will not parry each attack, wielding her own sword of imperfection.
She drift to her dreams, her body retreats to fantasy to escape the unhappiness of her life. He comes to her, this smiling face. His joy at just her presence awaken the giving siren she remains. She giggles girlishly, a seductive smile appears on her face as she shares secrets and revels in his attention. She returns his tenderness with rising passions of her own.
His touch is always welcome but never the same. Sometimes it has a freshness which carries her back to her time of innocence. Sometimes the skills of her best lovers seem to be embodied in each touch she relishes in the night. Then there are the times she readily surrenders to his strength and dominance. This lover of her dreams now owns the forbidden fruits her husband somehow lost.
Sad realities
And dreams
Mama Feels It

Mama feels it
a need to elevate
beyond the dour
seriousness that
shapes her day

extra moments in
the shower washing
hair so clean it
couldn't need
it now

a hand lathered
well with soap
touches an ache
and soothes her
troubled soul

Mama feels it
a time in bed
alone the dark
sounds of her
quiet solitude

a satin tie from
favorite robe pulled
tightly up between
her full and
trembling thighs

Mama feels it
the need to cool
her passion with
cubes of ice but
not to chill desire

freezing trails of
dripping liquid
slowly moving
down her body
to meltdown point

Mama feels it
alone in traffic
when a favorite
song comes on
the radio

contracting and
releasing hard
draws focus to
intense and too
familiar needs

Mama feels it
taking time behind
closed doors when
no pill or cigarette
will really do

a nightstand drawer
gives up its contents
as she satisfies her
rocking body in
shuddering delight

Mama feels it
the tension drained
from weary eyes
and strength and
peace returned

no prayer or man
or sister chat but
moments taken in
sensual freedom
restore her smile

Next
Perhaps we should move on
