This is a very good free verse poem. I can follow it easily even though the thoughts and observations vary, it becomes one, as you end it with the last few stanzas and lines. My favorite line is, "noises that would have embarrassed me decades ago." I can relate to that. I shared many years with a mate who gave me the kind of feelings you describe so well. You are very fortunate to have this close relationship. Cherish it - I say that, when I'm sure, you already do. This is romantic and playful and I enjoyed reading it.
Take care, Jesse

Sweet musings, yes! Your poem is so provocative and playful, letting the reader in on your little loving secrets....one rolling person colliding with another... yes.....

Now this truly captures a string of intimate, loving moments. So brave to share. I am so touched by the delicate and delicious playfulness, the sometimes fumbling, bumbling efforts to connect physically and emotionally. Wow!

"Sunshine Boy'
Is a Love Poem Contest Entry.
Rich in Theme and Imagery.
It read well and flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
...
The Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
Thanks and good luck with this.
And I don't think it needed a posted warning.

    Thank you for your excellent review! Yes, you're the second person who said it didn't need the warning, but some people are more sensitive than others. You never know. One friend said it might make people more curious, ha!

This is so sweet! You did a good job of giving us a peek inside your relationship. But then y'all hid under the covers, lol. Waking up next to the one you love is such a blessing, and you have poemed the playfulness very well. Good luck in the contest!

Hello Mary Kay, this is gorgeous. A real love poem - true love, sexy and pure joy. There is nothing smarmy about this piece of work. You let your mind flow freely onto the page and gave me a lovely read. This is down to earth love and this is how love mostly is - unless you watch some of the slush on TV. LOL! Loved it - good luck in the contest. Love Dorothy xx

Ah ha Mary, just change the names and what? Story of many a wakening in our 65 shared lives! Ongoing too I might add after despite our ages. No shame, no embarrassment, no angry retorts, familiar events long enjoyed even in our dotage, that set the tone for the day and tighten our "Bonds"! Right on? You bet! Don't change a thing for that's what Love - not lust - True Love I hasten to add - is all about! An unusual format - random but ideally suited for the occasion. Great to know we're not alone in routine and habit. Good for you - both of you, for this is the 'stuff ' of a Happy Union! You've made a great start to our - Pauline my "Girl", and my - yet another snowy - day! Rhymer. PS: I'd give you Ten stars if I could! Denis

    Denis, I thank you so heartily for your outstanding and glowing review with the six beautiful stars. I very much appreciate all the lovely and thoughtful things you said, but most of all for how you can relate to my poem about marriage in this phase when time together grows even more precious with the years. We are truly blessed.

This is a lovely one, picking up on an old love affair still simmering gently after years. Hiding under the covers is a good way to get found in the confines of a bed!

    Thank you so very much! I deeply appreciate your beautiful review and the six shining stars. I must admit, you made me smile... yes, hiding under the covers can definitely lead to being found. It reminds me of the skimpy camo nightie I gave my sister at her bridal shower -- it led to some hilarious banter (transcribed, of course).
    An old love like ours is surely a true love!

    Nightie? My husband disapproves of those. He doesn't like pyjamas, either. Hence this old bird sleeps featherless and keeps a dressing gown by the bed for necessary bathroom or dog-settling or early-morning courier-arriving trips.
