How Remarkable / Mother's Poem
How remarkable that
a young man half my age
finds pleasure in me.
Please don’t judge. How can
I do otherwise when my
lusts are set free by his
unexpected attention?
I spread in anticipation of him,
open to all that is possible.
I accept all that he brings,
a tender kiss,
a breathless whisper,
the novice searching
to find his place.
I smile at his aggressive
rooting against me,
missing and missing again.
Finally, my fingers guide him
and he sighs.
It was awkward, but
still beautiful to a lonesome
woman his mother’s age.
a young man half my age

I do otherwise when my

open to all that is possible.
I accept all that he brings,
a tender kiss,
a breathless whisper,
the novice searching
to find his place.
I smile at his aggressive
rooting against me,
missing and missing again.
Finally, my fingers guide him
and he sighs.
It was awkward, but
still beautiful to a lonesome
woman his mother’s age.

Author's Note
I found this in my mother's writing. I didn't know about this affair but suspect I know which neighbor boy was involved. Photo is edited from one of her favorites I took of her two years ago.
All writing remains the property of the author. Don't use it for any purpose without their permission.

Difficult not to find a beauty in the way she describes the meeting of her experience vs his inexperience
....the novice searching
to find his place.
I smile at his aggressive
rooting against me,
missing and missing again.
Finally, my fingers guide him
and he sighs.
I am sure she is not the first woman to admit the feelings she did in the first verse. Most of the next verse in particular hints at a session he may have, in a tempted moment, initiated:
........How can
I do otherwise when my
lusts are set free by his
unexpected attention?
Clearly, the affair gave her moments savourable enough to write about like she did, and underlined how attractive she was. Situation so vividly reminds me of the pop video by Fountains of Wayne that inspired this rhyme of mine:

There were times in my 20s I wondered what it would be like to be in relationship with someone twice my age - now I am of an age your mother would be a young girl against me. (The only woman who said she fancied me as a toyboy during those years, a then coworker, was married, but it was rather a good natured joke showing what a soft spot she had for me, and we enjoyed a good natured friendship for years afterwards.).
Love the picture added..
