A man follows an alluring woman <br />From a bookstore rendezvous <br />Through twisting streets <br />Of illicit passion; <br />He enters her house <br />To gently kiss her neck <br />In the plain white kitchen <br />Where she has prepared meals <br />For life-draining years <br />For the same unappreciative husband. <br /> <br />He removes her clothes <br />Slowly in the afternoon, <br />Dropping her panties in a hallway <br />Next to her husband’s study; <br />He tastes her body, the warm sweetness, <br />Until she achingly moans. <br />He gazes for a moment at a wedding picture <br />And then turns it face down; <br />He makes no promises <br />Beyond the present adoration <br />Of her tender body <br />Currently unused for years <br />In the confines of her bedroom. <br /> <br />Forbidden lust <br />Has a magnetic pull; <br />The biting of shoulders, <br />Red finger marks left on the flesh <br />That was firmly pressed, <br />Her designations of sensual desire, <br />To be later camouflaged and covered up <br />By modest clothing and showers discreetly taken <br />When her husband isn’t present <br />To hand her a towel.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wedding-picture-face-down/
