Four Shorts: Concupiscence / Longing / Old Couple / Love

FredPeyer

Concupiscence

 

Enveloped in liquid serenity

Through the veil of concupiscence

Revealing my true identity

Desperately imagining….abstinence

 

 

Longing

 

The longing reluctantly wrapping the soul

Like morning fog hugging squeamish ground

Burrowing into the psyche, an intolerable mole

Paralyzing the mind with no peace found

 

 

 

Old Couple

 

Like two swans on a still pond

They quietly glide through life

Without creating any ripples

 

 

Love

 

Washed, dried, and folded your underwear and bra

First thought I should be embarrassed

But curiously felt only intimacy and love

  • Comment from author about the poem: For a change of pace I figured I'll post four short ones, two four-liners that rhyme and two three-liners that don't. Hope you enjoy them.

    Good write(s). I especially relate to 'Old couple' I have seen those swans many times.

    • FredPeyer

      I once saw an old couple sitting on a bench at the ocean, holding hands. Remembered that when I wrote the poem. Thank you so much!

      Four brilliant, touching short ones, Fred. It takes a special poetic mind to speak so well with so few words ... not a one wasted! Kudos.

      • FredPeyer

        Humbled again, two in a row! Thanks so much Louis!

        Wow! I liked everyone. So graceful writing. I know what you mean about old love and the underwear washing. I think when we get older together we become more like brother and sister. It is truly love. I've got divorced from my only husband but we are now like brother and sister. We still loving each other.

          Thank you Malu! Have to contradict you though, been growing old with my wife but the love never changed from man/woman to brother/sister. Never got excited about my sister, but still get excited about my wife!!! 🙂
