A casual affair, we’re warned,
never lasts for long,
but sometimes I’m drawn into things,
right or wrong, for . . . . .
I cannot help my finger reaching
out to touch your lip,
to trace across your cheek,
to stroke your hair.
My eyes, drawn into yours,
fall heavy with desire,
and yours, drawn into mine,
are candles’ fire.
At first I follow protocol.
You’re free to go or stay.
Averted eyes and small talk
give room to break away.
But soon I feel you bowing to
the aura of my touch.
Our hands entwine. Your lips
brush mine.
Such tenderness! Too much!
Surroundings fade
to a distant wavy sea.
There’s nothing can deny our
strange familiarity.
The nearness of your shoulder
makes a tightness in my chest.
Your breathing, too, grows shallow
as you slightly trace my breast.
As calm, as sure as ever
anything can ever be,
I know that I want you
and you want me.
Your face, your form
accept all that I do.
The world is re-defined –
There’s me . . . . . and you.
Time stands still. There’s just
our rhythm and our flow.
Our whole life is this moment –
there is no tomorrow.
My name? What’s yours? That’s nice to know.
I really like your name.
The truth is, though, that just now
any name would seem the same.
For a rushing heat is in my ear.
The lights are dim. I can barely
see.
My throat is tight. So
hush. Just stay,
and fill yourself with me.
Each move I make, you mirror.
We’re of a single mind.
You’re never far ahead of me
or never far behind.
How can this be? We’ve no
experience
of each other’s love . . . . .
We are but grist for a higher cause –
our guidance from Above.
We are aware of just one thing:
a swirling, blinding trust.
At last, we are the Universe!
The Universe is us!
Such bonding is the reach of
ancient hands ‘cross vaulted skies,
A moment caught in memory
before dark clouds arise.
I play such love scenes now and then.
I’ve lived them once or twice.
Imagination amplifies
experiences so nice.
Whoever says a casual affair
never lasts, is wrong.
For let me tell you, from this chair,
such memories linger long.
