A DARK GLOOM 47BC

ROMAN AND HIS WIFE IN 47BC AND HER THOUGHTS AND WISHES FOR ANOTHER LOVE

While Marcus
is talking
of some war

some campaign
he's been on
Annona

in their bed
beside him
wishes he

was still there
(far away
in some war)

they'd had sex
two or three
times during

the night
in which she
pretended

to enjoy
making noises
but really

it was s**t
she hadn't
liked it one

little bit
but when he
was away

and Amy
was in bed
making love

it was one
big thrill ride
small kisses

soft touches
exploring
doors opened

places kissed
bodies hot
and o that

do not stop
do not stop
but Marcus

tells his tales
of war games
who killed whom

she sensing
in her heart
a dark gloom.

I like the image, too. Combining love/sex with an antique time, really creative.
