Extramarital Affair

I was jealous of her looks and splendor, taking over my bed so gracefully. To her strange charm, yes, men would surrender. In thought, I wished her life, but secretly. She climbed upon him as he was sleeping. Perhaps she thought she'd found her next appeal. Enchanted, I watched as she went creeping upon my husband! What would they reveal? Feeling her touch upon him would he wake to see her there atop him face to face? I wondered should I stay or silence break. Wasn't long after, they in arm embrace, that husband, half asleep, but with some charm gently blew the spider from his arm.

This must have been "crushing" to the spider. I don't like those things. Great poem. Vince
