KING  From Your Wife  Husband, know of my deep satisfaction Measure the merits of my married life Beyond romance or youthful attraction Pleasure is plenty for your wanted wife      In youth, each meeting seething parts tremble      Celebrations of sweat soaked seduction      In truth, such outbursts little resemble      Incantations for true love’s construction Lovemaking may lay a bare foundation But comfort and solace are more we give Life-making each day sharing creation Of marriage the structure in which we live      Outbursts of passion still thrill married life       Secret in lasting, a mortar of life      Trust more than lust- what I need in this life Bricks of devotion that build man to wife
