he comes to me where i'm sitting
puts his big hands on my shoulders
begins massaging them and my neck
leaning back into his hands
i feel warmth but also love
being cherished
he stops and goes to his chair
turns on tv
i go to him and begin
massaging his neck
he reaches up and grabs my wrist
which he pulls forward
and places a soft gentle kiss
in the middle of my palm
i gently ruffle his hair
then go back to my chair
a few minutes later
i hear the tv go off
the lamp goes out
he comes to me
takes my hand and
we walk together
toward the bedroom
going through my mind
yes! even after 28 years
of marriage
we are so blessed
and as he closes the bedroom door
i once again give myself to him
for a time of some
heaven on earth.

HOOD-WINKED!
Such beautiful and unconditional love for each other even after all the years of marriage. One can only wish to be this happy in a life time. Wonderful imagery. Full of romance and love for each other
You have just been Hood-Winked

first of I love the background!!!
the last sentence of the first stanza should be read as "turns on "the" tv"
"I go to him" doesn't sound like proper grammar
focus on the grammar some words seem when read sketchy
yet the imagery of him combing massaging you then turns on the tv and hten you in the room
very sexy got me kinda in the mood with my man lol -
This is so filled with total and awesome love and commitment! Beautifully written my sister. Love has smiled upon this union!
Be Blessed,
