The Hot Tub Poem by Adrienne Clark Strachn

The Hot Tub

Two new lovers exploring one another’s bodies
Feelings of apprehension feelings of delight.
Exploring one another’s bodies.
Places seen that’s been hidden to others for quite a long time.
We forgot about our needs, desires
Feelings of love, that we were entitled.
In our past life, we had some much to do.
We are now, older people, older lovers.
Single lovers

Some call us old folks
like we lose our libido
I will admit, my hot tub was used before for tired muscles
A comforting zone for total relaxation.
Now it’s used for foreplay, love making
Uninhibited romance
and sex.

Let me wash your back, you wash mines
Candles in the background around the hot tub
A chilled bottle of wine with 2 glasses
No distractions in the background
Just you and me, with hot bubbles all around us.

What have we been waiting for
Lets take our time.
But next time,
Can we do this in the shower.
