" menage a trois " , Oldbear !! 5-ed .

is genius

In a homey Rockwellian scene

Her soft, white thigh against my face

although I haven't read most of yours, this is the best I've read.

you have some loose ends (pardon the pun) i.e.

Husband, father, grandfather

Shamelessly sparking another

another what (husband, father, grandfather?) because there is no direct referent that follows...fived but You should be more focused, tie it together better

Husband , father , grandfather shamelessly

Sparkin' another's

Wife , mother , grandmother .......

There's a hidden allusion to adultery here , Oldtimer !

this one is very rich in texture of imagery, something about it draws me yet I want to resist it...strange feeling...

between desires is really well crafted

I got flashes of naughty and dirty, meshed with normality of life.

as if I was touring through your thoughts, at home with the family, then a flash of doing something you shouldn't. one of the best I have seen of yours, and it was different, full marks :-)

Lesse - maybe you are picking up on that trace of guilt in the back of my mind?

Twelveoone - I get your point! Yikes!

Ashesh used the word "Rockwellian" in a comment to me some time ago - fortunately it stuck in my head because it seemed just right for the line in this poem. Unfortuately the source of it didn't stick in my head until I just re-read the earlier comment. My apologies and thanks to you, Ashesh.

The duality express here and the way in which you express it.
