Morning Match-up

I so miss that good morning smile
But, not so much your good morning breath
 well just a bit

I do miss that blazing warm snuggle as
 you'd crawl on top and there proclaim your victory over me

I even miss those little nips you'd take
  about my jawline and neck, those I would proclaim to hate

I miss our morning wrestling matches the ones that always
 left that infernal love musk pool
 Oh then, it would turn freezing cold in an instant

Shoot to a commercial break, our sponsor would say; if we had one

The bell rings

I miss struggling and fumbling to get out of that torn up bed
Was not much sleep gotten there, when we first begun

Wasn't  much rest given near the end
litter everywhere; the clean up crew made, a clean sweep

But, if ever I had a chance to go back
I'd desire to go to that old apartment, above the old movie-house
That California King sized bed, that was our arena

The only thing missing was  the turnbuckles, a referee, and a bell
That is where we first committed to each other
Before life became a living hell
We waited some time before we got together 
  a love match well worth the wait

A promoter's dream everything fell right into place, every kiss on cue
 this was the main event
But, no championship was ever won, no golden belt, you would tag out

A deadly game true to the hurt
Such a blissful lift it gave such height
How could I survive the fall

Well it's the continual hope for the re-match that's all

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.

Donnie...

I like the way you've compared this to a match in the ring, and of course the hope for the re-match.. good write poet! the only thing I see is a couple of times a need for a comma or the start of a new sentence.. other than that this was very well written... Richard

Thanks Jess, Richard I've been writing alot in note books

And then using the Library's computer and this site as a place to work on this I hate to do it this way but it is the only way I have so you all get to see the whole process sometimes from thought to completion well almost complete I am working on getting better but I have been for my whole life but fear spelling and gramer may never fully be won over by me these blocks I have had since third grade I thank God for the spell checker and the auto corecters and computers I really do I always hated to read but love to listen and watch This is how I learn best thanks Donnie/Sinbad I even hate to speak aloud or read aloud because I have to stop to often to understand what it is I am reading I think it very well but to make it understandable to any one esle drives me crazy sometimes
