The Love We Both Know

The love we both know

Twelve hours shifts 

Pushing those pills

After three days

It’s time to chill

But Ozzie needs insulin

A tolerance test

First thing in the morning

No day off to rest

The microwave oven

Has gone on the bittz 

The new one needs mounting 

And pray that it fits

Priorities priorities 

No time for one’s self

The physical, the sexual

One’s own mental health

Perhaps a new time slot 

Might be considered

Before frustrated feelings

Turn into embittered

As mentioned in prose

Of “Love Here and Now”

The time for each other

Should be allowed

If mornings are busy

The evenings will do

One can’t be choosy

How about afternoons?

Somehow a way 

May need to be found

To stop the wheel spinning 

slow everything down

Lay down beside me

Close your blue eyes

I’ll pamper and pet you 

‘Till the tension subsides 

To let love build slowly

No hurry no rush

No thought about problems

There’s only us

What could be nicer

What could be sweeter

The passion of giving 

The joy of receiving 

The hour hand frozen

On the clock in our heads

Time at a standstill

In this loving bed

Fingertips gliding

On each other’s skin

Lips lightly brushing

And so it begins

The movement the motion

Two bodies immersed

The dance of desiring 

A love unrehearsed 

Intimate moments

More important than lust

A sharing, a knowing 

A feeling of trust

An ebb and a flow

A rise and a fall

Passion soon answers

Loves clarion call

Restraint is unleashed

Skin upon skin

A moistness surrounds 

The hardness within

A pair of explosions

Our heartbeats increase

Timed to perfection

The sweetest release

Bathed in the moment

A soft afterglow

Nothing is better 

Than the love we both know
