Presumptuous

Is it presumptuous to assume A melodious togetherness with you Without an unfavorable tune Or could we drown our indiscretions In the depths of love’s infinite sea And swam ashore in unison Without feelings of malice and jealousy Could we hold hands as true lovers and walk the stretching shores of tranquility or sink slowly in the agonizing sands of deceit and our past infidelities Is it presumptuous of me to -- think Understanding and forgiveness resides in your heart My blatant disrespect for fidelity was contemptuous No less or more than yours, but I condemn my part For you, eternally my heart weeps Could you see past my mistake with a blind eye Or continue stabbing me repeatedly With sinful lust and yearnings for your lovers side Is it presumptuous for me to say Your adoration and passion is eternal And your love for me is everlasting Or is it just merely for today Could you kiss me with fierce uncontrollable passion The way you anointed your lover’s lips Or in your eyes, am I not seen in the same fashion Does he control the water, you the glass and I Am merely allowed subtle infrequent sips Is it presumptuous to feel right About stealing an innocent gentle kiss While you sleep a peaceful sleep - day or night The kiss no longer belongs to me but its mines to miss Is it presumptuous of me When I trace the subtle curves of your caramel body While the moon saturates your alluring frame Your body opens and shifts with acceptance of my plight And you passionately bless my offerings but you still call his name

Everything about this poem is good...the emotion, the words chosen to convey them...everything! The line of "this kiss is no longer mine, but mine to miss" Outstanding poem!
