Good Teacher

You were a good teacher.

You taught my skin to delight in your caress.

My fingers learned to search for yours.

I learned to listen for your whispers.

My sighs learned your name.  

My desire learned to match your heat.

My pulse learned to quicken with your embrace.

You taught me to thirst for your touch.

I learned the loneliness of empty nights.

You taught my tears to fall in your absence.

You taught me how to say goodbye.

I learned of a broken heart.

She stumbled into

The Evolution of A Relationship From Infatuation to Flatulation

I saw this on Facebook and, like The Bard of Avon, I cannot resist a taking a shot at a fart joke with these eight lines and a limerick

A Women Always Know Limerick

My personal experience has no “sometimes” to it.

A Snoring Partner Problem and Solution Limerick

There’s lots of ways to solve the problem. This one was very effective on me.

Your partner’s snoring has you seething.
To stop it, just do this key thing –
First, you shake them
And after you wake them….
Punch them and tell them STOP BREATHING

A Not Gender Specific Time Management Limerick 1.1

Regardless of how aggravating and infuriating this is

She’s cold
Cuddling for warmth
By herself,
I ache to be there
Wrap her in my arms
Safe and warm
(And snore-free, in my mind)
She can sleep peacefully through
The night

Atoms

Is matter
What matters?

or

Is what matters
More than matter?

The need
For her controlling
Hand,
Tugging and pulling
My hair,
A needy itch
One only She can relieve,
An ache in my groin, head,
And heart.

Her fingers feel
Different

A “StayHomeStaySafe Connecting = Anti-Social Distancing” Limerick

The pandemic has changed so many aspects of what was our “everyday lives.” One of the most dramatically affected things has been our relationships.

Leaning over the bed,

I can feel you close

-16.02.20_12:44-

It’s a choice I think about

As it calls to me

-28.12.19_16:25-

The doorway in,
Staring back,

-14.12.19_04:17-

My fingers run over

Rough, sandpaper skin,

-09.10.19_01:15-

I don’t want to sleep,
Since that means

-27.09.19_01:15-

I can see her lying there,
Just beyond my reach

-18.09.19_02:58-

She looks at me
With Love in her eye

-08.09.19_14:38-

 

A choice that I made

It was supposed to be until the end

The one and

Only,

Again.

Abandoned amidst predictions

Now true,

Watching as life goes on for others

But not for me.

Sitting in our small living room,

The first place I ever lived

-02.09.19_12:33-

My circle is small,

He was the second I ever let in

-01.09.19_00:57-

 

I’ve stumbled and shared tribulations,

I’ve changed and grown

-08.30.19_22:39-

She was the first

I gave my heart and my soul.

-11.08.19_23:41-

A common item,
A treasure kept,

-10.08.19_02:09-

Eyelids droop,
Fluttering open

Falsehoods I tell myself,
