More Than Just A Contented Man

A Poem by Neville

More Than Just A Contented Man

Dear lord,

I want you in the sauna,

slippery

salty and wet with your

hair matted

and several shades darker ..

Clinging to your

shoulders and your back

like sun shy ivy

crawling over church walls ..

Dear lord,

if only I could have you like

that again

perhaps just once or maybe

at a push

even twice, then I may well

be ready to die

somewhat more so than just

a contented man ..

Hot and steamy and I reckon every man!s dying wish. Certainly would put a smile on your face with that last breath:) Congratulations on your 14th anthology. You’ve got a buyer here Neville.
