Flirting With Someone's Wife

To uphold clean ethics you may strive,
But which unfeeling fool does not know
That stolen honey out-tastes that of your hive,
And that the grass is always greener over the fence?

Silver and golden rings do strongly bind
And vows of chastity nail heart to heart,
But the pulsations of newfound love
Rock and rewind things back to the start.

So return that honey-coated flirt with a flirt
And let the tides of destiny take their course;
Nothing ever happens by accident or some luck,
For it’s the hands of providence that gather and toss.

Feel the warmth of newfound love invade your heart
And, babe, return that sweet flirt with a sweeter flirt.

Flirting spices up life but my father used to say "he's flirting with danger"..Once I knew a man who was dating a woman who was separated but not divorced..The advice I gave him was let her alone until the divorce comes through because the husband might not want her but he might consider her his possession and do something really terrible..Great work about the topic..I enjoyed reading it today..Thanks for the visit to my page..I appreciate the kind review..Sara

Lol. I have lots of favourites " That stolen honey out-tastes that of your hive, And that the grass is always greener over the fence?" :-) "But the pulsations of newfound love Rock and rewind things back to the start." "And let the tides of destiny take their course; Nothing ever happens by accident or some luck,". And the last two lines are on point. Def a 7 and def a fav poem
