Short Love Poems

Hot wet and wanting

The woman I covet is lying now, hot wet and wanting in my bed

All set, because of a couple of poems and something that I said

For me, if it’s not her, no-one else will do instead

Slam-dunk, questions and answers buzz like a saw in my head

Willingly, like a shaky newborn motherless lamb just bottle-fed

Unerringly to the hinge of her legs, the scent of that body, I am led

Fecund, mellow fruitful, her body like a fertile lucid green riverbed

Curvaceous, receptive, luscious, gentle, a true thoroughbred

All notion of escape, flight or fight in her now long since fled

For the other, the man that she’s been with for years and had wed

All passion and yearning lies like a rotting garland on the ground;

trampled, dead

Like Ariadne’s lover Theseus, I shall continue to follow her single thread

For love, not some misguided notion of street-cred

A full-grown woman, not some witless, feckless centre-spread

Hot red and horny I want no-one else in my life, that’s gainsaid

As I’ve told her already, she’s the best thing since spreadable cheese

spread

No one thing I did, changed her face

No rock of ages, aging sages, slave wages

No offstage, onstage soliloquizing rages
