Changed
Lying, limbs entwined
Pelvises hinged in thrusting.
Lips brushing, tongues darting
Her face flushed; the pressure
Builds
She focuses on her woman-hood.
The exquisite pleasures rise,
Peak, crescendo—subside,
Rise again and again.
Each time the pleasure holds
All of her attention!
Breast and belly swell
Aureoles, nipples darken—
Linea nigra scores her swollen corpus.
The warm fuzzies of mother-hood
Gives way to the waddling near term discomfort.
Lying, limbs akimbo, panting
Through chapped, pursed lips.
Pressure builds with tightening uterus.
Pain’s intensity grows stronger,
Peaks, crescendos, subsides,
Rises anew.
Pain, each growing pain, holds
All of her attention!!

while your portrayal here is beautiful,, it makes me happy i have never had to link the pain of childbirth to the pleasure of physical intimacy...
Now this is something I could never experience. But well put.
that's the whole cycle there. It's crazy how one thing leads to another.
I wish, if only...but seems like I can never experience labor I am told!
strewth! I'm sweating just from reading it! i'm glad I'm a fella!
A powerful piece - short, to the point, packing quite a punch. Well done!
Very clever Rel!
Wow... that was intense.

Wow, Rel, I think this is one of the best poems I've seen from you.
Clever and so true. The parallels are well drawn. Good job!
For women this is the essence of being. It is the one constant through the evolutionary process.
very very clever Rel....and I remember it quite well. This covers it all. Well said.Happy Valentines Day!!
