Mind Games
I looked to your face
into your eyes
we kissed & embraced
rolled with each other
groping, stroking, petting,
and then we . . .
almost.
I couldn't, I shouldn't
frustration
You want more
and so do I
but I can't,
I won't
Yes and no,
two-way guilt
unfulfilled
not here, not now,
but when
and
then again . . .
I am too old to worry about age
or have a wish list
for the past,
But I am reliving
pubescent angst
whenever
I gaze
upon you.
