Brenda, there are times when I feel completely oblivious to the world around me and this is one of them. After all this time, his is a revelation. But the I don't get tv reception under my rock, so it's not all that unexpected of me to be oblivious...
Nice write Crim!!!

That's the kinda woman a man needs!!
Yea...

The beauty of your heart shows strongly through the windows of your words, my lovely Dark Angel. That our sight at times dims and we can't see what's clearly before us is a human trait. And it's a testament to the depth of your love and spirit that you grieve for the moments when you are less aware. He is a lucky man to have you in his life, and I think he's fully aware of it. So much love for you, beautiful, so much...Willow

thank you beautiful Willow
yes I hate that I sometimes
fall asleep in the day to day
to wake with the realization
i've been neglecting the one
I love most..

he knows I love him
yes he does but
I can strive to be more..

I love & cherish you..

love Brenda

Amazing piece of writing!

I fully empathize with feeling like sometimes I don’t appreciate the people around me, and sometimes their needs should be recognised too.

Star xo

thank you graciously beautiful Star for empathizing it's like I fall asleep & all of a sudden wake up with the realization of what i've been doing.. it causes me a great amount of grief with the awakening..

love Crim

Now that would be a Thanksgiving memory to outlast any meal.  :-))

Sometimes a marriage/union is so comfortable we do forget how much worse it could be and we begin to take it for granted, feeling it will always be and we cease to do the things that got it to that point. But, when we continue to put the wishes of the other before our own, and they do likewise, then it will never suffer an ill fate.

Nice self awareness write my Lady.

thank you dearest Teri it was just weighing on me last night & I still can't fathom how I wasn't previously aware.. giggles yes I should have let him had his Thanksgiving treat but I was so worried about being caught but none the less it would've been a thrill ;)

love Crim

Crim, you absolutely nailed this !!!
RL add for me

thank you graciously dearest Ragnar yes
you men need proper & improper loving at times..

love Crim

Without question !!!!!

My love, this breaks my heart to read because you chastise yourself for circumstances which are beyond your control...what is still in your control is witnessing his own pleasure and satisfaction for having all which is the most beautiful you...as I always say my love, don't look only through your eyes, on what is wrong, but rather all which is right...continue to see through his just as you do in the last stanzas of this poignant and heartfelt ink...

I love you madly, deeply

yours always & forever
xoxoxox Taryn

thank you my love I know you understand & feel this one deeply it's your passionate heart that reveals things to me.. opening my eyes to blind spots in my life.. I will do as you say & see myself through his eyes for he believes in my love & beauty even when I doubt it..

I love you deeply..

love Brenda

"i weep for days lost                            
years have gone by                            
& i didn't take notice                            
my husband        
by my side                        
lonely"- my eyes were cast down for so long i forgot the sun could sink into shoulders,skin.subtle differences make all the time tick right off the clock.                            
                         
"then i wake up                            
& take a look around                            
with the realization    
i would be lost                    
without him                            
he has taken                            
the good with the bad                            
in me                            
loved me wholly " -  running through the maze of snow,and turns he found me before i melted & put me back on ice.swallowed the darkness like a sin eater.                          
                           
"i often get distracted                            
forgetting the fates                            
have smiled on me                            
with a good man                            
who stands by me                            
still lusts after me                            
twenty one years later                      
& so sexy pushing 60"-and the gods granted me a wish, i could not wash the Love away from me if i tried                            
                           
"he hungers for me                            
i have to confess                            
ignoring him at times                            
it grieves me tonight                            
to realize this "- he did not    bite the hand that feeds but still waits across the muddy rivers not sinking, not sulking, still waiting                        
                           
"his advances should be met                            
with hungry growls of my own                            
not with a cold shoulder                            
it has a lot to do with my psych meds                            
which at times      
kills my appetite for sex"- i call his name but hes right in front of me,said i had not spoke a word for hours                            
                     
"i need to be a tigress                            
& pounce on him each chance i get                            
even if i am unable                            
to get satisfied every time "- feed from the frenzy even if the hunger is not there                            
                           
"he burns for me                            
& my love shines for him"- wading in glowing rivers of past , present,and what has not yet come to pass                            
                   
"i will feed his need                            
be there on my knees                            
& let him fuck me outside"- drink me like the thirsty from the desert foraging for a drop                            
               
"in the dark  
with people roaming about                            
like he wanted on Thanksgiving "- take me now on the goddamn turkey dear
           
"he is proud i'm his lady                            
& wants everyone to know it                            
so he seeks to mark his territory                            
in front of all" -kicking up grass for all to see that he was meant for you, and you were meant for he                            
                 
"next time i won't protest                            
i'll bend over & take it"- Love is beautiful even in it's most primal state                    







another poem comes to mind after reading yours-

       
                           "And The Days Are Not Full Enough"

And the days are not full enough
And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
     Not shaking the grass
                                                -Ezra Pound

fantastic write of Love Crim.  this is very relatable even with me not taking med's i miss the mark and my eyes to the ground too often.i drag from day to day and drip like a candle being melted from both ends.

dearest Samuel I am literally blown away by your loving & passionate critique of this very personal write.. you see so much of the truth woven into these lines.. I deeply love your insightful attention to my writes.. you rock dear poet :)
