Bad Sex

Missing image
by ~Gregg Rowe~

We laid after,
no afterglow
or mirrored bodies:
just -- starryeyed
both thinking --
something must be said --
in this moonlight darkness
as we laid
naked, uncovered
blankets tossed lazily
onto the floor
while we both pretend
we are sleeping

Maybe I should have asked you
if you were ready yet
what was I suppose to do?
follow your rhythm
as you laid there
starryeyed

the warmth of my tossed sheet
is welcoming right now

    Oh, the bad sex scenario. All been there at one time or another ( or normally after every time with my ex husband !!!!) But this is well written with a good flow and its straight to the point. I like !!

    Bad sex vs no sex.....hmmm now there's a question...LOL
    I guess it's not bad sex if you haven't had sex for several years. Well it's not considered bad until you have sex again after that time and the second time is then the better of the two, thus making the first bad. Not sure if that made any sense but then again it may have made perfect sense. Maybe my mind just isn't functioning properly....wouldn't surprise me...LOL

    Although I did enjoy this piece. I like how you took the subject of sex and went to the other end of the scale with it. Most everyone tends to speak of all the greats of sex and never mention bad sex, almost as if it doesn't exist.

    Blessings

    Aargh! bad sex is the worst sex... but the aftermath of bad sex beat everything hands down! Makes me cringe.... Enjoyed the poem though.... really hit home how good sex really makes your day!

    LOL! Whoo, this just made my morning . Well that's got to suck . Not that I would know *eyes shift around nervously*. It's especially amazing becuase you've managed to take a subject that isn't the most tasteful, and have worded it with class. Great work, hunn (again) Never stop writing.

    P.S.- Thanks so much for your help, Gregg. I was thinking about it, and I've made my decision... I'm going to be an English teacher Well wish me luck LOL. And thanks again, I hope you're well

    I think you'll find it more amusing if I told you this was a true story.

    ...Gregg, this is a true story.

    This was a very interesting write. I can't say I have had this feeling before, at least not what I am getting from your words. You have a nice flow and rhythem to these words. I love the imagery you give too, I'm not entirely convinced your picture fits the poem, i guess in one way it does in the other it doesn't, I don't really feel it adds anything. I do however love this background. Great write!

    Shit happens, but I suppose too much of a good thing is bad.
    It just might as well be the opposite, someone could be stretched too wide before their time... lol
    I'm sorry, I know it sucks, just like when you want to kiss someone furiosly and they clamp their lips shut saying they don't like the taste of toothpaste.
    Then they feed you garlic bread.
    Yeah, sucks..

    Interesting poem.

    Hmm well maybe yes and maybe no. But then you know that women do have a way of changing their minds.

    Shit I felt that way once. It is a sad and depressing feeling. Makes you just want to get up and run away. Good write.
