How could he but not fold? Even the Strong
Become Weak
Was it her inviting
Lips opening in
A consummate kiss?
Was it her
Intoxicating breasts,
Lifting in a caress?
Was it her
Responding heart
Pounding through to his?
It was all of those
And more.
Her laughter, her thoughts,
Those clever eyes that
Witnessed his secret strivings,
With all that was against
His foolish resolve,
How could he not but fold?

Discussion: Even the Strong Become Weak
Well now, this is a poetry genre in which I do not often write. Alright, in my secret files are a few poems about the physical side of life. And like the others, this particular poem can have many meanings and interpretations. Be that as it may, there is not much I am willing to discuss here, save that everyone can use the power that he or she is given or has earned in life, either for good or bad. The woman in this poem has power. We can assume that anyone I write about is using his or her power for good. 😏
A Suggestion for Your Musical Delight
If you are not familiar with All Classical Radio, here in Portland, Oregon, then may I suggest you acquaint yourself with the best music in the world, played 24 hours a day on an award winning radio station. My husband, James's, musical listening preference leans towards hard rock. My listening preference is more akin to that of Bing Crosby. It seems then only natural that we compromise by listening to classical music. And we love it. The station, 89.9 fm is on most of the day. If you are not from the Oregon area, then you can stream the music live by going to www.allclassical.org
All Classical Radio is a non-profit station that is supported by the local community. There are no commercials, no stupid chatter, no obnoxious songs, just the best humanity has to offer in music. And even though it started in humble beginnings near the cafeteria of a local high school 30 years ago, All Classical Radio, is heard all over the world and is one of the top classical stations in the United States. Give All Classical a try, any time day or night. You will become hooked to the variety and style of the music, not to mention the calming effect it has on the listener. skp
