memories

naked this night on soft satin sheets
his arm ‘round her shoulders his lover’s head rests,
her hair fills his nostrils with a scented bouquet  
as fingers explore love’s affectionate quest.

tenderly lips touch in a loving lead
legs interlocking add to the play.
arms then wrap tightly pulling each other in
their hearts beating faster, to join in the fray.

her breasts he kisses a sensuous gift,
she feels his love grow with each loving turn.
the curve of her back feels his fondling stroke
to capture this feeling forever they yearn.

his senses now heightened, his love at the ready
to soon to the feast, the more he will miss.
he must gain control, and reign himself steady
for her love, her beauty, and her freely offered bliss.

their heart guided souls in lustful play
to their senses’ delivered a bountiful tray.
their love and youth play this night away,
‘til the dawn’s early light  brings in a new day.

their lips now swollen, bruised, and red
hearts full of love, love’s watershed.
the fast night’s hours have swept past their bed
‘til night ties are severed with the sun in their stead.

as that night flew by so have the years,
his only love has long passed away.
he turns out the light, perched next to the chair,
and off  to bed slowly ending his day.

their children all gone one by one they’ve all grown,
occasionally stopping by with little time to spare.
with families and jobs and homes of their own
making the time to show that they care.

even though she’s gone he’s still not alone
he talks to her daily when he’s at rest.
even though she’s gone, good memories he keeps
he kept the best, and God took the rest.
