The need arises to-
Touch, caress and feel love.
The mind seeks arousal.
Caresses and sweat excite.
The smell of sex sensuates the body.
Fantasies unfold to fabricate
Desires of decadent and
Tumultuous lulling lust.
The soul yearns to survive
The stress of existence
And continue the mechanisms
Of life.
The knowledge
That after so many years
The body and mind can still revive in this intimacy
Is reassuring.
All is not lost
With the morning starts another day.
Roads divide,
Intersected by
Comings and goings,
Paying bills
And planning meals.
Misunderstandings and forgivings,
Mundane chores to complete.
The taps to mend,
The bulbs to replace
And arguments about
Whose duties are they.
Listless living
And overlookings.
Clothes pile up
Needing settling.
Toilets scream for cleaning
As one day overlaps another
Getting lost in this hasty living.
Then another night comes.
Body seeks body.
Hands touch,
Lips meet
And heads rest on each other.
Peace sets in with ecstasy
As bodies squirm and thrush
Sticky with sweat,
Aching for that momentary reassuring bliss.
Then the final kiss.
Woes are forgotten.
Satisfaction and
Peaceful sleep.
All is indeed well.
