Having been challenged by Susan to write a poem about the Faithless Husband, and in reaction to various comments on my poem The Other Woman, I have heeded to the requests. But, I have taken the liberty to stretch it a bit from the point of view of the Other Woman.
Casanova
With the confidence Of a Colossus He strides Into my heart Wooing me With great panache. He oozed charm and finesse And I was doomed. He dripped Saccharine sweetness And I lapped it up Stealing kisses That were not mine, I could only share For I saw the ring too late Loving him so How could I say no To my Casanova With smooth dexterity He manged me And his Significant Other Time will run out for her He says. Give me your body and soul He cajoles For the divorce Will be final soon And desperately I cling Her frantic frenzied calls Equaled only to Our lovemaking How significant is she now? I ask, gleeful But I could only gloat For a while The echoes of my calls Making jarring Notes in my ears And easing out silently That frenzied tempo Creeps out and crawls Into another woman’s bed Casanova I welcome Your faithless smile Copyright © Celestine Nudanu 5/1/13+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I appreciate your patience with me as I catch up on your blogs. Thanks a million! Shalom
Oh, I love this, Celestine!You hit something primal here.
Thanks a million, Susan for the inspiration. Me thinks the topic is not yet exhausted though.
oh, I think we could write page after page on this one.
Faithless smile…very well done Cestone, as Susan said you have hit something primal here
Thank you Boomie. I may write one from the POV of the husband when the internet permits me.
Good idea, it would give us the whole picture to know what he has to say for himself!
Not much, I can assure you
That tempting Casanova!
Tempting and faithless
Celestine – Your Muse is something else today
I tell you.
You really nailed this one to! Excellent!
Thank you, Marie
I love it! So well written, and a great view point.
Thanks a million, Reikiheidi.
I’m not much into poetry, but Casanova was really good.
Thanks a million, Nana. I am glad.
OH, I really enjoyed this – it’s always interesting to see things from all sides.
Glad you enjoyed this, Marianne. Thanks a lot for coming.
Oh boy! He is in trouble!
Isn’t he? Trouble caused by himself, no doubt.
“Your faithless smile…”
amazing as usual….
Ow, thanks a million, Njs.
Whoa! Powerful writing.one of your best.
Thank you so much, Kim.
Hope you are doing fine. 
I’m laying in bed with the laptop or kindle all day.
Glad to hear that.
It is well. 
NIcely, nicely done Celestine. I enjoyed this one a lot. Your clever twisting play on words and emotions. Smooth yet jarring just like it would be in real life I fear!
Thanks a million, Penny. Your visits are always a delight
