Repressing

though the ring says 
you shouldn’t,
the hips say you 
should &
though lips say 
you wouldn’t, 
the thoughts say 
you could & 
though the eyes want to do it, 
the hands 
wanna be “good” & 
though society is 
watching,
the groin is sporting wood & 
though the panties 
are moistening,
the mind’s misunderstood &
though the heart is 
beating faster,
there’s torment just under the hood.

Very interesting perspective about meeting and that chemistry that happens.
