Sexual at 55: A Collection of Poems
()
About this ebook
When the last of Sharolyn's three sons became 21 years old she looked at her married life's accomplishments: she had been a devoted and loving wife, a caring and nurturing mother, a household manager, and volunteer community leader. With the main purpose in her life gone, she panicked. She looked ahead to the next thirty years, and the emptiness in her marriage and life became unbearable.
She explores love, loss, lust, and life through poetry and finds renewal.

Sexual at 55 - Sharolyn Mathieu Vettese
The Forgotten Woman Within
Stirring
As I wait for you to tell me
One last thing
I feel the heat from below your belt
Through my shearling coat
You stir me in so many ways… between my legs
My heart
My being
I want to be rediscovered… re-loved
Abruptly… I walk away
Secrets have a way of getting out
And we are both married to someone else
But, I wonder what would have happened
Had I stayed?
The Forgotten Woman Within
Behind my holy Madonna persona
And under the weight I carry from menopause
I seize the forgotten woman I was
When he touches my breast
I block his hand
Then reach for his lips
He feels good and hard
I want to explore him, slowly
Among the yellow dandelions
With no thoughts of right or wrong.
Dutiful Marriage
With their chins down
The old couple sits together in separate worlds
She looks one way, and he the other
Anywhere, and everywhere without contact
This could be us in a few years
A marriage of endurance until death
No promised fun in the golden years
Instead, a future of repetitive monotony
Are we going to slowly kill each other with boredom?
My Knight in Shining Armour
My heart races as I walk to
