Our Sweet and Sticky Mouths

Neville

Our Sweet and Sticky Mouths

 

Somewhere in the very

welcome mess

of good old here and now

mid a pretty tumble

of creased, white sheets

and likewise,

our discarded underwear ..

I lay sprawled,

with both my eyes closed

and urge you to

complete what from here

at least, feels like it must

surely be your

latest mission .. now near

accomplished ..

And I wonder, but only very

briefly so ..

If it might be possible to feel

any more relaxed

or comfortable, than this ..

But the length

and the depth of my last

gasp and sigh

told me no .. so choose to

dream instead of

blue butterflies and tiny

hummingbirds

each sipping nectar from

the creases and the

stretch marks I imagine

must by now have

formed, at each corner of

my satisfied smile

and notice again, I no longer

crave cigarettes ..

    The poem is a celebration of the transformative power of intimacy and the sense of fulfillment that it can bring.

      Boo hoo, I gets no 'tumbles' with KP.
      'Just don't give us the descriptions of you and KP in bed', they say. 'It's too ghastly and TMI - Too Much Info!' We hardly share a bed anyway. Or if we do, I can't say I recognise her much with that botox! heehee.

        You are more batty than a fruit bat & more nutty than a big bag of KP ready salted sir 🦇🦇🥥🥥🐧

        lol
        that's one way to paint over our vices
        then again
        it's only a temporary solution
        just like that momentary gratification
        .. well it's all good n fun, if both willing
        reminds me of that good will hunting joke,
        all the same:

          This is an excellent piece...I love how you said what you said without actually just saying it....if that makes sense....wonderful!

          • Neville



            .. it makes perfect sense C and I thank you BIGLY 🌹

            The cigarettes were only a circumstantial ornament anyway. Well penned N.

            • Neville



              I've lost track, of the number of years it has been, since I last lit up .. but every now and then, I still fancy one .. cheers AP 🙂

              I believe my friend you have added another definition of the word "Satiatian", will probably show up in the next addition to the OED. Wow, Congratulations!

              • Neville



                Now wouldn't that be a fine thing .. sheeeeeeeesh, I almost slipped of my pedestal .. bless you Bella

                • Bella Shepard

                  Not to worry, I think that your footing on that pedestal is quite secure.

                  Well blue butterflies will do it every time!

                    Wonderful words Neville showing how wonderful the thoughts are when in bed.

                    Andy

                    • Neville



                      thank you kindly and truly Andy
