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

Oh, the temptation! Fun poem.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteMy 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 )

An 'every woman' poem for sure ~~~ nice!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI loved this! Nothing like a romance with a new pair of shoes to get a girls mojo rising! haha! This was adorable!!! Lusty! haha
ReplyDeleteGreat, great surprise at the end. What girl could possibly resist that kind of temptation?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletelovely poem!

ReplyDeletecool stuff,
enjoy some gifts.
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!
ReplyDeleteMy first visit to your blog. I love the masthead photo of the roses and dianthus.
ReplyDeleteYour poem is seductive. It drew me in, had me wondering and then, made me laugh! Clever.
Well done! I got caught in a steamy tale of sin and temptation.
ReplyDeleteI remember when shoes were very important. Well written!
ReplyDeleteI love your poem.The ending is great.
ReplyDeleteoh 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 ;)
ReplyDeletethis was an excellent read!!
I was reminded of a younger man I once knew. mmm Hmmm... I forgot I was reading about shoes :)!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! I love it. Forgot about the shoes - until you brought me back round to where I was supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteCute and unexpected ending! Well done.
ReplyDeletehaha. that is one temptation i can resist...but for a second there...nice magpie...
ReplyDeleteConsequences..darn!! Even for buying shoes..don't I know it!
