Love this poem C.J; a ‘l know who l am’ statement, stirs the feminist in me … and the sweet suggestion of lusciousness at the end makes this feminist smile.
My girls are somewhat embarrassed that "Mom" writes the way she does sometimes ... moms aren't supposed to be passionate or have sexy feelings ... horse pucky, ladies!
I know they will read this because when I joined Substack, I comped all three subscriptions to both of my substacks and this post was to explain to them about my being a poet AND a woman/lady. I'm normal -- I have desires, too, and I do enjoy writing about my feelings, no matter where they take me in mind and imagination.
I'm glad the poem resonated with you, sweet lady! Thank you for your supportive comments!
And l am sure your daughters love you for breaking down the archaic conditioning of society that ‘mothers’ loose their sexuality 🥰.
Your poem took me to the first poem l wrote after John died … to the middle stanza, reflecting on exactly where your poem leads to; the passion being the culmination of the deep soul connection made before the bedroom door closes. 🤗💜
Hi C.J, John died in 2019. My post ‘The Event of Dying: An Act of Intimacy’ (posted on April 17) will give you context and includes the poem l mentioned. As will another post, ‘Intimate Acts After Dying: A Synchronicity of Soulful Signs’, posted on May 23 🙏🥰💜
Thank you. I will read them later today. It's Robert's birthday today and we've been watching a couple of his favorite movies. I should get back to them ...

I was just telling the truth C.J. . But thank you . hugs to you and peace . I went through hell to learn to love , and even care . That being said ,I will finish your poem Right here . We love with our hearts and brains , Not with our sex organs . Finding true love is hard , yet well worth it . Our heart loves ,Our brain tells us if other person is worth love . hugs to you Cj. and peace
I appreciate your courage in bringing such intimate questions into the light through your gift of words.
You're very kind, Augmented Man. I appreciate your candor and support.

This touched me deeply, Simone. May I ask, when did John die? What year?

Happy Birthday 🥳 Robert
I think they may be getting better about it.
Reminds me of the Billy Joel song. She's always a Woman to Me. I love you sweetie.
Are you planning to sing it to me later this evening, dear? I love you, too!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Wow this is a really beautiful poem. It inspires me to make my own!
Thank you, Kathy, you humble me.
