Warm breath, pure sweet from open mouth, soft parted lips so slick,
Butterfly tongue teasing mine, flitting, tip-tip, slow, quick, quick.
Now serpentine, deep and probing, firm against my own,
One way, then the next, who taught her such delights?
Arched back upon the bed, thrusting pretty-tipp’ed mound,
Stroked lightly, yet so strongly sensed, Soft sachet full of love.
Sweet mons, rising to my touch, light sigh, a groan,
Sharp cry, oh! please, my darling, please, o please,
Who you taught you all these tricks?
Words of ardour, lust and love, hiss’d urgent raised desire
Language once would never do, (don’t use that word my child)
Short wicked words now sound so sweet, when gasped twixed breathless kiss,
Or whispered mouth on ear can raise an agony of bliss,
Who spoke them first?, me?, you?, I really do not know my love.
Where did we learn to say those things?
Near 40 years since on this bed, my sweet and I first joined,
She came to me a virgin bride, un-kissed, untouched, unknown,
And I, a silly childish fool, no knowledge of the ways,
Of love, and life, nor shown at all, by any other girl.
And now I’m past my three score years, our love still grows and grows.
Still fresh, still new, yet still to find, new ways to please and thrill,
No words, no books, no help required, no secrets from another.
Locked tight in love’s strong rings for life, we simply teach each other.

The first time I read this, I admit I wasn't too sure about the way it opened. But as I continued to read, I noticed how the piece picks up in...well, power. And then the ending ~ WOW. I don't think there are very many people who have only known one other person in intimate ways such as this, and it is certainly a beautiful poem showcasing the reasons for it to be that way. Everything in this poem is beautiful, from the unique title to the ending line.
You are very blessed to know this kind of love. Thank you so much again for sharing and entering this into my contest. It is a poem deserving to be read by many.
Good luck in the contest and best wishes,
~J.

Thanks so much!
Trista, thanks. I was amazed that anyone would like my poem, I'm as far from a poet as anyone could get. I don't know if there is another poem in me, if there is it doesn't seem to happening yet!
I am very fortunate, when I was introduced by a friend, to the girl who became my wife, he said later (referring to her looks,)that she was "nothing special". She came from a farming background and with her ever-present duffle coat, "sensible" shoes and home cut hairstyle, she wasn't a typical 60's "chick" at all. However, this quirky female had something about her that appealed to me, and over the next 3 years we fell in love.
She let me know pretty quickly that she was keeping her virtue until she wed, but we became lovers in every other sense. It wasn't until our wedding that I really saw how wonderful she really looked, and once away from her almost Victorian family, she became the ever-changing beauty who, thankfully, is still with me today.
Thanks for running the competition, I've really enjoyed enjoyed entering. Getting an HM was amazing.
I hope you find your soul mate, he's out there somewhere I'm sure. Take care,

Even if this is the only poem you ever write (although I really hope that is not the case!!!) it is something you can be very proud of. I wish there was a way to get all the young people on AP to read your poem, before it's too late for them to turn back time.
In high school, one of my girlfriends struggled with the decision of whether or not to "do it" with the young man she'd started dating. Too many of us thought, "why not???" but she decided to wait...and I don't believe she has ever regretted it. They are still together, have 3 beautiful children. Another of our friends once said to me, "You know, she really did things right. I wish I'd been that smart."
And just so you know, I had not put the 2nd, 3d, and 4th place poems in any particular order. I didn't realize AP would automatically give out silver and bronze instead of the 3 HMs I'd intended. Meaning, this is technically tied for 2nd place, but I'm glad you're happy with the HM.
All the best to BOTH of you!

P.S. If you do write another poem, no matter when it is, I would love for you to send me a link to it.

I think this beautifully shows how pure and fulfilling love can be, between two people who have only known each other intimately. Learning, when done together, gives you all the knowledge you need. Thank you so much for your entry. I will be commenting further on poems after the contest closes.
Good luck and best wishes,

Excellent
I love the theme in this piece, soul-mates surpass the laps of everything, even time. Man's conventions such as time have no meaning between the soul-mates. Excellent.
