A real life poem by: Kim Colquitt

When our eyes met I felt complete adoration.
Followed by unconditional love and instant gratification.

So picture perfect the two of us,
if anyone should disagree it is not open to discuss.

I have loved you now for many months.
Kept you safe while protecting you from all of lifes bumps.

You were once the bun in my oven.
Now you are here and I am in seventh heaven.

I will keep you safe and warm.
I will shelter you from the storm.

I promise to always do my best.
Take care of your needs and let god do the rest.

You are the apple of my eye.
I am a little scared I can not lie.

From this day forward I want to make this promise to you…

My love is unconditional and I will always try my hardest as your mom…

Good Teacher

~ thereluctantpoet

Come see if you had a “Good Teacher”

Penny Wilson Writes

You were a good teacher.

You taught my skin to delight in your caress.

My fingers learned to search for yours.

I learned to listen for your whispers.

My sighs learned your name.  

My desire learned to match your heat.

My pulse learned to quicken with your embrace.

You taught me to thirst for your touch.

I learned the loneliness of empty nights.

You taught my tears to fall in your absence.

You taught me how to say goodbye.

I learned of a broken heart.
