A women stands before me
Waiting to be kissed
We get lost in the moment
Lustful heat not to be missed
She surrenders to me
Breaths then pauses – stops
Knowing it will never come to anything
She’s right, she’s worth more than a night
One lapse of judgement
Is all she allows
Enough for conscious to peak
She pulls away – hushes my speak
Experienced in restraint
Recognizing the reality
What would be a lifetimes guilt
This passion of humanity
The responsible adult
I’m the impulsive youth
Emotionally foolhardy
She recognizes this truth
Still treats me with respect
Strokes my chest
A love quest, a lustful chance
Not risking hearts on a fated romance.
