THIS SO VERY PRIVATE CLAIM

Folder: 
JOURNAL #19

your kiss

was my confession

and I thought about its meaning

until my mouth went dry

for your lips held such

unthinkable expression

until I abruptly released you

from such a passionate session

coming out of such stupor

of heated sexual haze

I could not then

even to myself lie

lust and love are two terrific strangers

to each other

never meant to be intimate for long

if only we both had learned such lesson

sooner

happiness perhaps

then

would have belonged

to us both................

(Dec. 20, 1998)
