Love Play

Feigning

I allow the ways
in which you manipulate
me

and I feign
not noticing

that you do.
You too?

These small things
seem important
to you and I.

I gauge our willingness
to allow them
as quiet demonstrations
of our love.

I oppose sometimes
playfully
things you want to do
and gain my secret
joy
as you overcome
my faux objections.

This dance of love
is good for me
and I imagine the same
is similarly true for you;

but why we need to
is sometimes vague to me.

Perhaps this is in our love
and relationship
the adult playground
where we test our skills
within the friendly confines
of the arms of we who love.

Is this the way we continue to grow
once coupled?

If so
I am happy with the mock combat
lovingly feigned
and received
and just perhaps
this is the play
that keeps love fresh
and that is good
wouldn't you say
or would you feign
disagreement
or upset?

Just so
in doing so
it whets
our appetites
and sharpens
our night time senses.

This was light and lively and romantic, Lonnie!Sometimes we forget to have fun in our relationships....and that leads to boredom! Nicely penned, my friend!
