Watching Him Watching Her

She stood in front of the mirror, not liking what she sees He watched from behind the door, seeing what he likes She turned from side to side; hoping different angles would help her shape He watched with excited eyes; each new angle shaping his hope She rubbed lotion all over her body, to keep her young and smooth His jeans were getting tighter, just begging to be removed She touched the parts about which he fantasized, slowly closing her eyes He had to let his growing manhood out, now grown to twice its size She knew he was there He knew that she knew He really didn’t care She watched as he grew She made sure that he could see her, though she did not let him in From the reflection in the mirror she saw him watching her watching him He wished her hands were his and that his hands were hers She applied more of the lotion letting out a pleasurable purr They climaxed apart together; never acknowledging the other one He went to the guest room shower, having finished what she begun She stood in front of the mirror, thinking; perhaps it’s not so bad As long as it does that to him, I guess I can still be glad

Well, I'm really torn up about all this mess. Now my wife always looks in the closet before hand.... All the thrill is gone.... As they say in France ..... Such Is Life...... Jake

Continued: with a P.S. everyone knows if you attach (adults only) to you poem. You are only inviting curious minds like children and young adults. Think about it. That is the truth. US adults are full of this reality and will pass up such a title by choice. However, a young mind will be curious and click on the poem. So ask yourself whom are you really inviting to read this adult rated poem? In which invites a full image to the wild imagination. There is nothing discreet about this poem. It is what it is a sex poem unrestrained. Please do not get me wrong it is a very lovely poem. By the way, I love the poem. Thank you for the invite to your poem by posting it. Love SandyIvy

Way to go Joe! I love the sex scene in your poem the imagery in your poem is perfectly two partners having safe sex ":-) JOKE. I can relate to the poem in some kind of way. My husband and I love having sex. My body is perfect for him I love touching myself with or without him. About 2 months ago, he caught me with my fingers in the cookie jar in my room. Unlike your poem, he joins and acknowledges my masturbation. I am glad he decided to help me out after walking in and finding me with my legs wide open in front of my mirror. We had tons of fun pleasuring one another. After our climax, we both hit the same shower. Joe, it was very nice reading this erotic poem. A very vivid picture no one should be ashamed of his or her body when it comes to pleasure. This world is all about sex. Bad or good, it sells. Your poem moved me in a way I want to read it again.

I'd leave off the last three lines [too much information] let the poem end with the climax's

There are no obscene, or vulgar words here, so no profanity [swearing, cursing, coarse language, foul speech, strong language, dirty words, 'cussing', bad words, bad language, adult language,] as to whether or not its vulgar [Making explicit and offensive reference to sex or bodily functions] .

BOY is that subjective? Perhaps, the woman caring for herself and not her man is striking a sour note? Who know but there are quite a few this blantant where the poet gets applaudes

I wouldn't call this pornography, it's erotica, and my only slight criticism (in a well meaning way) is that one or two lines may possibly be a little overstated (?) I don't agree with censoring and policing another person's art, I'm all in favour of freedom of creative expression, and you have clearly labelled the poem with a warning so people have the choice whether they read it or not...

Thanks for your input Charlotte. That thin line we sometimes walk, I guess, is thinner for some than it is for others. I try to be respectful of what might offend someone else - that is why I labeled the poem ADULTS ONLY. In hindsight, that may have been more of a magnet than a warning.

I myself have posted several erotic poems and I'm no stranger to controversy on the site (someone was very offended by my 'moors murderous' poem) but I guess we cannot please everybody all the time...

To be honest Joe, there is nothing over suggestive in your poem. The writer writes what he thinks is appropriate to him/her at the time. On reflection, some poets re-look their work and tweak accordingly. I've written some similar poems on here, and in no way do I feel as if I'm advertising anything other than poetry to my thoughts. There is no reason for you to feel guilty in expressing an idea, reality or what ever into words. I like it, if you write more, I'll read. Happy New Year :)

Thanks for cleaning up your comment, Nathan. I understand that this poem may have gone over the top of your moral compass, I simply attempted to write a poem about a part of life that I find intriguing. I would not be offended if you simply decide to not read my poetry.

Very cleverly written I enjoyed reading. It's awesome to read something not so innocent
