The Magic Roses

The flowers that had powers

The Magic Roses

 

Closed the file cabinet drawer

Slung your coat jacket over your shoulder

Thinking, should I stop off at Happy Hour

Realize quietly…your getting older

 

Stopped momentarily at the street light

Glanced at the young beauty sell flowers

Memories of your wife many years back    

Bought some roses with magic powers

 

Tippy-toe your way to the kitchen

After quietly unlocking the front door

Down on her hands and knees she was

Scrubbing furiously the kitchen floor

 

Watching with admiration

Still a Goddess even gracefully with age

Long pitch black hair streaming down her back

Desire thunders your loins suddenly on a rampage

 

Turning she looks up

Her eyes a wanton smoky silvery grey

See the magic roses in your hand

Smiling unzips your pants in foreplay

 

Taste of your lovemaking

Was the ultimate bittersweet

She is a child, a girl, a woman

She is everything that makes you complete

 

Serves you your favorite cocktail

Runs naked jumping in the pool

Wavy water silhouettes her body

Thanking God she is yours, you were never a fool

 

 For a moment you ponder

Coming home to her everyday

Almost makes going to work

Worth more than your salary pay

 

The satisfied color of her cheeks

Matched the deep garnet of those flowers

Thinking back on the "heat" of that moment

Those roses indeed had magic powers

Very nice poem. It makes me feel like I'm watching someones happiest moments in bits and pieces. It has a calm and subdued feel to it when you read it. Well that how it is for me anyway.

Awe isn't that so romantic… Yes the gesture of flowers are nice in showing love but it is how you treat them and look at them that says it all.

[LadyAnn68]

I beg to differ..it is how you treat HER that tells all...lol hahahahahahahahah Thank you sweet pea! Glad you read it..I was wondering if you would...this is the one I will be reading this Friday night...how about you???

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Awesome, can't wait to hear you read it… Not sure yet, depends on what I write this week.

[Frieda P]

Ah this is magical, if only more relationships could be this way....I'm not sure it was the flowers that had magic powers or the very smart man presenting them....well done Ann.

'you're' getting older and I think you meant 'selling' fllowers

[LadyAnn68]

Maybe the magic of the woman...what do you think???? Hello Frieda, I am back and the words are flooding my brain...many poems coming these next weeks. Finally have a break and stress free and feeling my imaginative powers coming back...thanks for reading!

" For a moment you ponder
