married life

there he is on cotton sheets -
stomach muscles like stones
worn smooth neath a rippling
river of tanned flesh.
the preacher said we had
become one.

he smiles with eyes that
tell me I’m stunning -
it’s a trick he uses that
makes me melt to his
every whim and fetish.

a girlish coyness is feigned,
he pulls me tight and the
stones swell beneath me -
before I know it he’s on top!
the preacher was right.

    I remember feelings like that! I especially liked the opening stanza. I *loved* "the stones swell beneath me" but the line that immediately followed it seemed to let it down. I have no clue how you can fix that. Still, an evocative image of sex with spiritual sanction, which has got to be good.

    Sometimes your poetry is clever.

    It certainly sounds like married life is treating you the way you deserve
    The vivid descriptions you give of your Erick tease the women readers & stir a hint of jealously amongst the men Not a bad thing at all -

    It is lovely to read of love so beautiful like this; thank you for that

    lol...I don't know if this was intentionally humourous but that ending gave me a laugh. It was kind of  unexpected...it seemed to be this heartfelt poem about marriage and then you cleverly inserted that little innuendo..

    well written. thanks for entering.
