Lucas' Poetry...You Know You Love It.
TUCKED IN


I come into the room
She is tucked tightly under the covers
I must look puzzled
I am confused on why she is laying that way
Then I notice the pile of clothes
Laying beside her bed
My puzzlement turns to delight
I move over to her
Kissing her on the forehead
And ask her what she was expecting
She just smiles
I return the smile
Slowing removing the covers from her body
I tell her to roll over
That I am going to give her something special
She does
I slowly apply my hands to her lower back
Pushing down, but with not too much force
I begin massaging her back
With broad strong strokes
Attempting to release
All the tension of her long day
She enjoys ever movement
Every touch
Every short stroke
I enjoy it also
I continue to massage her back
Slowly moving up to her shoulders
Removing any tension locked inside
I can tell that I'm relaxing her
There is a small drool spot on the pillow
I lovingly tell her to roll over
She does so
I think she was expecting something different
Because there was a slight puzzled
Look on her face
When I did not climb on top of her
Rather I put my hands on her shoulders
Pushing down with barely any pressure
Ran my hands down her chest
Across her breast
And to her stomach
Massaging her front side
I could tell she was enjoying it
A slight smile cracked across her lips
I continued to do this a few more times
The smile still stayed
When I returned to the shoulders
I moved both my hands
To the her right arm
I began massaging it
Slowly moving up her arm
To her wrist
Then to her hand
Pushing on her palm
Massaging the stress out of it
Then slowly massaging each finger
Pulling all tension away
One by one ending at her thumb
As I moved my fingers away
From her thumb
Her arm fell down
Slowly and softly onto the bed
I could tell she was getting
More and more relaxed
I massaged the other arm
In the same fashion
She looked so relaxed
Almost drifing off into sleep
I slowly crawled into bed with her
By then I had also removed
All of my clothes
I held her in my arms
Her body very limp
From the massage
I whispered "I love you"
Into her ear
Her slight smile returned
As she said the same
I layed my head down
On the pillow beside her
Holding her
Loving her
Just being with her
