Physical Freak

We have a standing date,
today and everyday
when dawn breaks a smile.
We meet in the park
we begin to move,
acquainting ourselves
we begin to sheen.
Our blood is pulsing
feeling so  g o o d!
Faster and faster,
we become more intense
sustaining 
as long as we can,
until we are spent.
Dripping wet,
a tousled mess
panting
we slowly recover.
My obsession is requited for now...
tomorrow, I must have you again.
I can't live without you
I love you, 
I want you,

..my daily workout.

Thoroughly enjoyed this 'physical' offering and the slant you gave it. ~ Warm regards // paul Login to Reply Susan Ashley Date: 12/15/2017 4:07:00 PM Yes, I had fun with this write Paul. My workouts don't include runs in the park at dawn, I prefer a mid-morning session when time allows. Your wonderful enjoyment of my poem delights me and I thank you for your lovely comments.
