Womans Desire

Woman’s Desire What’s all this rigmarole and claptrap About the man being the only one thinking of sex? Well, truth be known, A woman, skin deeply eager, thinks much of it too… Once leaving the job, after The shopping; the vaccuuming; the cooking; the pots, Pans, and dishes; after the childrens’ Homework, meals, baths, and good-night kisses; Once the cat and dog have gone out and in Twice, been fed, and cooed over while petted; After inquires about her spouse’s work, complaints, And wishes; after the phone calls to people of concern; After checking the bank account, new emails, and Cleaning out her handbag; counting out lunch monies; Preparing the morrow’s snacks and clothing; writing The lists of to-do’s and schedules; and, preparing medications… Afrter all that, following ten minutes of rest In a cushioned chair, Among the first wishes of her long-patient body, Is for some time to linger, living Pleasure’s words whispered by her passion’s tongue. A woman desires to lay felt and feeling sensuously With her beloved, warm and spent, Close to sleep at her side. —————————————————————————————————— (c) sally young eslinger 9/16/2023
