Asphyxiating

Capturing a nuance in a relationship ...

On the wicker rocker Breathing the nascent dawn Asphyxiating!! Draw a lungful On my cigarette Ahhhh! I breathe! She walks out Of the bedroom door Rubbing her dream-sleep-filled eyes My T-Shirt hurriedly worn Reminds of the night long gone! Plants a kiss On my pursed lips about to exhale Asphyxiating!! Sits on my lap Fire in my hand Now in my loins The night has not long gone! I want to smell me In her T-shirt I wore it last I smell her Asphyxiating!! Swaying to and fro The rocker rocks Climaxing!! I scoop her up Carry her through The bedroom door — Wearing her T-shirt Wearing my T-shirt Smell her still Asphyxiating!! Rocking to and fro Diamond wedding ring Beside my cigarette fire Asphyxiating!!

What stayed with you?

A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
