Leading Lady

Lessons in love ... with a twist ...

 

Their first month flew right by,

whilst dating twice a week.

Claire impressed Jim didn't try,

beyond pecks on the cheek.

She'd deftly took control,

he'd fallen for her charms.

She owned him heart and soul,

but longed to feel his arms.

'Would you like to stay tonight?'

Claire asked Jim at the door.

His expression showed delight,

she couldn't ask for more.

'Please help me with my coat,'

she said and flashed a smile,

'then on another note,

let's sit and chat a while.'

For half an hour they talked,

relaxing by degrees.

Jim excited, also shocked,

Claire sat astride his knees.

'If I leave it up to you,

we'd wait another week.

So I'll show you what to do,

and the pleasures that I seek.'

Claire leaned into his face,

and pressed her lips to his.

Inhibitions she'd erase,

so passionately she'd kiss.

She felt his hands explore,

so whispered in his ear,

'Tonight we'll do much more,

just enjoy and have no fear.'

Claire's blouse Jim got undone,

then marvelled at her chest.

The bra clasp wasn't fun,

he did his level best …

Jim's hands soon occupied,

Claire rose a little higher.

'Caress me there … ,' she sighed,

it set Jim's loins on fire …

Jim quickly learned the score,

a lesson he'd receive.

Claire pulled him to the floor,

his aching she'd relieve …

Ten minutes all it took,

till they were both relaxing.

Both naked now to look,

for neither it was taxing.

'Okay my man,' Claire said,

'let's see how you recover.

Come and share my bed,

I'll coach you as a lover …'

She teased and she employed,

lots of subtle tricks.

Jim really then enjoyed,

giving Claire her kicks.

'I think I love - ,'

he went to say.

A finger touched his lips,

her shaking head said nay …

Together half a year,

they enjoyed their time.

Each time it got more clear,

their love life was sublime.

Rapidly it came,

and lasted half an hour.

The tumor came to claim,

Claire whilst in the shower.

Jim found a note Claire left,

written from the heart.

'Dear Jim don't be bereft,

I loved you from the start.

All along I knew,

how much time I had.

For all the time with you,

I really am so glad.

I knew that I would die,

and leave my man alone.

Find new love now please try,

and use all that I've shown … '

I began to experience the emotions as I wrote this so I hope that means it works.

Tom,
Great work, rhyme is very meaningful, and Claire was great handful of a woman; very arousing yet you kept it clean - I salute you. Too bad she had to leave him once she found the cancer. I hate when people do that, don't you? I would ask for more details: eye and hair color, cup sizage, her extra special talents, more on why Jim loved Claire aside from her great lovemaking. But then again, it's great as it is - if it works don't fix it.
Good job man. BZ

Tom I must say that your pieces always surprise me. This is hauntingly beautiful. I love the characters you portray. To be honest, until the last few stanzas I thought Claire was going to leave him, but of course that wasn't the case.
Thank you for sharing, it bought a rare tear to my eye.

I was constantly engrossed as I read this passionate, poignant poem, The ending was very sad, but for awhile happiness rained true love and companionship which is better than some get. Your emotions flowed so smoothly and captured my heart and smiles. You kept it pristine, yet erotic, which I adored

What a story Tom!!! Incredible I did not see it coming. Now I know why she put her fingers on his lips. She didn't want him to say it and then having him deal with her 'leaving' after. I didn't see it coming, what a twist. I loved that she wrapped things up at the end, she really thought it all through... what a GAL and what a STORY. I loved it, absolutely tremendous!

Very touching write and I have to say I was very taken aback and surprised by the ending.....quite wonderful.
