Nipped in the bud

 

Nose to nose and holding gaze

The lights and music low

Hands cup my face; I hold you close

Heart/time dance quick-quick s l o w

I hear your rapid, shuddered breaths

My fingers trace your nape and spine

We yearn to meld; such sweet duress

I close my eyes – pretend you’re mine

“Just one kiss”, I hear you plead

My chest ignites to molten fire

Time stops; blood rages primal speed

Temptation blinds with razor wire

“I can’t”, I whisper, trembling, small

World falls back. Agony. We’re done.

You were fantasy, my love, my all;

Darling, I could never stop at one.
