The Importance of Revitalisation

Cora and Robert in the first year of their marriage.

Animal attraction only works

When both sides agree

This relationship just won't collide

Passion only numbered by their planning

A desire to have him and to hold him

Revitalisation is futile

She wishes with all her might

A brush off, a refusal, an ignorance of her

One too many times

The wedding is pale in comparison to her gladness

The honeymoon strained and taught

The nightly rituals by number

The day's disorder overthrown

Not quite a perfect match

He retreats, cowed and confused

Revitalisation is the key

To pulling from this extremity

She grasps his hand

And kisses him sighing in the moonlight

What a chance!

What a daring move!

But

A year, months and months of waiting

Torturous

Dire need of him

And eventually

'I'd like to sleep in your bed tonight'

A break through

An important realisation

Blissful encounters

Love adorned with gold

And the importance of revitalisation

Is perfection itself
