the feeling was there
at the time I just didn't know it
maybe that is why his obvious stare
put me in such a snit
he was a boy all of nearly eighteen
I was a woman raw from a recent relationship and more
than ready for someone young, muscular and lean
not to take too seriously mind you but to wallow in
a form of physical love play deemed as off limits
perhaps the whole of the entire summer was yet just
another possession of kismet's
propriety be damned
that boy was/is indeed very much a main stream man
the chemistry was quite naturally there
my lust with the use of his own
he was easily enough able to ensnare
his handsome heart I softly danced around
and only tentatively attempted to touch
how could I have possibly known that he would be able
to make me feel so unbelievably much
more when in his presence
that's all I could bare to think about
this so called boy gave me more than any man twice his age
along with love added so perfectly into the equation that
its sincerity left no room for doubt
in my mind I knew if anyone were to find out
physically we would be pulled apart
I would likely survive it but the separation would break
that gentle and giving boy's heart
so this is my private yet public form of coming to grips
my own personal goodbye dear, sweet Cort
a mental kiss upon your loving lips
maybe one day soon again we will be lucky enough to
magically meet
and perhaps one afternoon out of this now aged
affair we will allow ourselves a moment to repeat
may love, happiness and peace be with you always......
