I embarked upon an affair with a much younger woman
She was beautiful, wanton and abandoned,
Far advanced for her age in the ways of sensuality.
When we made love I lost all track of time
As her heaving, thrusting loins sweated under me.
She wore a particularly strong perfume. musky and exotic
And when I left her bed I reeked of her and its charms.
The problem was this: I was married and could not go home
Drenched in another woman's fragrance, so a solution was needed.
I discovered the name of the perfume from my mistress,
Suggesting to her that I was making notes for a future gift.
In fact, I purchased a large bottle for my dear lady wife
And thank God she liked it enormously and adopted it as her own.
Thus, when I returned home after an afternoon of lust
With my eager, youthful, compliant and unprincipled mistress,
My innocent wife never noticed my saucy indiscretions
And I could sleep in her arms, imagining them to be
The tender brown arms of my lovely young lover.
But now, thanks to my wife's revenge, I will never fuck again.

This was...interesting. I don't see how it pertains to my contest, but it was a good write nonetheless. Thanks for entering, and best of luck.
-
Last time I saw this, I liked it. I still do. No prize though.
-
Where do you live? I am sure one of my relatives was done to death there by some Roman Catholic ZOMBIES. If you tell me, I'll dedicate my next "Memories" poem to you for only 200 points.

Scallywag!!!
Well written you dog! I do have to wonder at the last line, if it's a joke I'm not getting it. Lol, my problem.
YOU DOG! -
What a wonderful ending. What EXACTLY did she do? I fear to know the answer. I really do.
-
Quite a lovely yet sad story. I love it.
-
lol...hmmm...well there you have it. what else can be said? you have it all figured out. thanks for sharing. keep up the clever work. peace and light always in all ways...
-
A very clever decietful poem...if this is true...it will turn around and smack you in the face one day...it may not be your wife...but maybe the lingering smell of that perfume...deciet will be the name you smell...a very well written poem...I feel for your dear wife...the smell will echo within you...thanks for sharing
-
From a female standpoint, the trick is, buy your lover the same aftershave or cologne that your 15 other lovers are now wearing.Make sure to say mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...you smell so yummy to every one of them.

You have met my dauighter> She is very dirty filthslut who sucks anyone for a few Euros even her Dad if he is lucky bot-face.
-
engelbert, wow dude another different take on love. It was clever in its construction, flowing and left the reader wondering. good write image and Visions
-
i smell scent of sucess !!! perfect flow and great imagery and passion...
-
lmao, fab fab write, and funny too...tell me, has the wife bought you any new after shave recently.... Great job. sj
-
Oh dear, If that litttle wifey of yours doesn't smell the perfume on you she will certianly notice that bronze trophy you have just put upon your shelf. Well done Sir. Humpalot.
-
LOL. Can I have your tip for explaining away love bites on a penis?
-
hmmmm. i dont know what to say abotu this poem. it was well written and creative. and yes i cracked a smile when you mentioned the wife. i just wonder why men want to stay with a woman when they are actually thinking of a different one... but ill never understand. still a good poem.
-
that made me laugh!!! I bet that happens all the time! Do women actually notice if you smell like someone elses perfume? well, anyway, a very good poem with so many connotations, it almost condones infidelity but it's still good.
-
This was incredibly well written . . . I love the word choices as well as your form and style. They go well with the content and contest! Keep penning . . . keep sharing . . . and much luck to you in the contest!

The things men come up with to get by with their wicked deeds. Nicely written poem.

You are clearly an old hand at the charade of l'amour. I remember one day my dear late lamented husband Bert came back ponging like the perfume counter at Woolworths. I knew he had been cruising the gay bars again, so I smashed him one in the earhole.
Good little poem. Clap clap clap. -
wow.. I can't really think of any other word to put it. I really didn't like the message that comes through here, but I appreciate the fact that you were so willing to put out a life's experience-especially one so deep and rather decietful.
Umm..that's really all I gots to say.

what a bastard
-
'The smell of deceit' maybe a good name for the perfume? Susch lengths we will go to to cover our tracks..... I am sure your wife was not fooled for an instant tho. Interesting write.
-
Great
Naughty Naughty..
I love it, it's so tricky! I've not seen someone who wrote from this much of a real life prespective in a long while. I find it quite refreshing to really read something of the writer, instead of something where meanings are cloaked behind heavy handed words.
It's a quite.. funny in a way, I'll have to remember that trick and put it in my book
-
Very naughty, but a good idea, IF you can get away with it. haha Thank you for this write.
-
good write! Keep penning and sharing on all poetry.

Well iI don't know what is the truth of the this subject,? But if it is just an idea than it has come out very nicely with appropriate and dully expressed words through and through too. and it it is just a true experenice still I will say that it is just a great idea to share with the readers with an open heart honestly that way it is just a bold step to express and to share with the readers.And thirdly another thought is emmerged from the concept, whether the subject which is stated here should be welcomed when love is a eternal light in this venture and it is true love too?..The flow of the write is very impressive and just slick too.I really appreciate this work.prabhudayal khattar

nice write

Dear Nurse: funnily enough, I have never heard of this as a joke. Equally funny, it happens to be 100% true. The drawback is that now the girlfriend has dumped me, I am stuck with the reminder of her perfume night after night.
-
This is such an olddddd joke.. sheesh man.. you must be in your 40's at least.. lmao
as this joke is as old as that...
I do however like the way you've made it into a poetic format.. clever that.. 
it didn't really make me laugh any more like it used too.. but it brought a wry smile..
-
How crafty of you. I would like to say that I didn't enjoy this because of it's subject matter, but I must say that it was very well written - and I hope - not written from experience (although you can't make this stuff up!)...
-
oh man, yay. lol as having once been the mistress, i think this is sexy. good luck in the contest, and good write you naughty boy you!
-
So scandolous! A very nice write though
