SARAH GOODENOUGH

When One Loves And The Other Doesn't

by Robert Davidson

Sarah was an erotic blonde
Rather wide-eyed and very pink -
Who presented Love in its most obese aspect
As honey-coloured her hair fell liquid gold

Not the most romantic of love-nests, she thought
As she lay exposed upon the heap of hessian in the shed
Beside a pot of maidenhair and garden tools
While outside was a desperate magpie's cry

She felt the pressure of Joe’s body against her own
Her blunt fingers touching, stroking, pleasing
While he tried out her buttocks with calloused hand -
You enjoyed her like a warm bath, he thought
The strong grip of her solid thighs

He had always wanted the fast lane, she knew
Exciting embraces in corners
The moment of quick passion in the dark -
He, distrusting the snares of sentiment
Feared she was waiting to trap him with tender love-talk

Later Sarah sat with her legs apart, plumply exposed
In the shed dusted with late afternoon light
Cold eyes burn the deepest, she always thought
As she felt them penetrate
Her glitter of golden vaginal hair

Declare your secret love? Not likely!
She was biting her hand against bitter tears
Knowing it was the way life got hold of you;
Outside in the garden a thrush sang sweetly. But -
No - she knew she could never speak her silent love!

I feel sorry for her! Bless, nicely done, really gripping emotion capturing the passion of their experiences, the haunting guilt of wanting more, love all silent. Well expressed. And wonderful title too!

Interesting work. I mean that in the good way. LOL It is a subtle seduction piece which gracefully explores the psychological undertones of a young woman. Well done.
