Mag 16



passing....
my eyes wander
and i am suddenly
drawn to your
elegance
vernal youth
and raw inexperience


enticed by desire
knowing that you
are forbidden
only enhances my longing
as i fantasize that first touch


reality!!
consequences!!
resound within me


guilt overcomes me
betrayal
of the one who has supported me
in my moments of need


warmth and peace
encompass my soul
with thoughts of our
intimacy...
your familiarity of my
each and every curve


contentment
brings a smile


empowered by the
conquering 
of the temptation...


to buy new shoes

  2. I wish shoes were my only temptation...at least they have no calories ( well, perhaps, they do but I'm not inclined to devour them like I am Chunky Monkey! ). Great poem.


    My poetry book - Life's Journey by Carmen Henesy - is out on Amazon!! Finally, at the age of 65, I did it!
    ( These are poems about the things that have been important to me in my journey through life, some humorous, some sad, some that may have meaning to you as well )

  4. I so wish my shoe shopping was this easy and successful. Alas, it is a difficult thing with lack of inspiration for comfy footwear my true bane.

  7. I also meant to tell you that I love the name of your blog--Every woman I know in her fifties expresses the same sentiment. What a great way to celebrate.

  9. Ah, yes, the love of shoes - I have several boxes of favorites which I'll not wear again - but the romance is still there! A truly wonderful poem!

  10. My first visit to your blog. I love the masthead photo of the roses and dianthus.

    Your poem is seductive. It drew me in, had me wondering and then, made me laugh! Clever.

  14. oh my goodness! i had to take a deep breath and reread the last few sentences again...is it just me or did i fear that there was a child predator involved and not skipping the purchase of a new pair of shoes?? you'll have to let me know because i know a great psychologist in town who'll see me asap, if needed ;)
    this was an excellent read!!
