The Man who Fell in Love again

The Man who Fell in Love all over again

That Saturday afternoon
she looked radiant.
Light behind her eyes
gave her a glow
he hadn't seen before.
Her news scared him.
A child in seven, short months.

The next few weeks,
a roller-coaster of unbidden
tears and sudden laughter,
hormones ruled
as her body readied but
man! the sex! She was
insatiable.

It wasn't that, the frenzied
teenage coupling or her
constant aura of sexuality
that made him fall
all over again but
the Madonna in her.

Never shy, she was eager
at every turn to shed the
restriction of clothes,
walking naked and proudly
pregnant.

As her belly swelled
he delighted in the smooth
curve that she cradled
unconsciously when she walked.

Later he massaged her
strained back and she felt
for him once more.
He was always ready
to enter her gently,
framing their creation.

She serenely presented him
with their son and he
fell in love all over again.
