You'll Have to Woo Your Wife Again

Dear Subscriber:

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem about the need for romance after marriage:

You'll have to woo your wife again,

And then again, and then again,

As many times as there are times

A well-worn silence tells you when.

You'll have to play the lover new,

All hot to touch and squeeze and kiss,

All shivery with ecstasy

Unbuttoning the buds of bliss.

You'll have to re-seduce a flesh

Familiar as your own raw nude

With praise and passionate displays

Of need and joy and gratitude.

For you need not give up for life

The pure and simple gift of lust.

A marriage does as marriage is:

The play of pleasure, love, and trust.
