Poems

The Affair

She finds herself mesmerized by his touch and with each gentle stroke of his hands on her skin, he owns her mind

It sends climatic sensations throughout her body as she wraps her arms around him, listening to his steady heartbeats

She loves him beyond passion and prays that he’ll stay the night but he always leaves without saying a word to her

She loses control of her emotions and tells him how she feels and he gently places his finger on her lips, causing her to stop

Then pulls her close with the understanding and experience of an older man who knows exactly what she wants to say

He rubs her shoulders with the same gentle touch that tingles her body all over and weakens her resolve to claim him forcefully

She wants him. No, she needs him!

He looks at his watch and dresses carefully as he slips his ring on his left hand and stares at it for a moment

She notices and turns her face into her pillow and cries in silence, listening as the door closes and he was gone

He opens the door and enters without fuss, knowing she is asleep as he quietly places his things on his side of the bed

He touches her with the gentle stroke of his hand and she turns, smiling and asks how was his day

He replies with a nod and a smile then watches her fall asleep again, telling him that she loves him with a soft breath

He kisses her hand and her forehead with eyes closed and breathes deeply, exhaling with a sensual breath of longing

He showers and slips into bed, holding her close, thinking how much he loves this woman but moreso, that he needs her like air
