The Affair

Devious and mischievous illusions
Run through my tired mind.
Happily ever after will never be.
Longing for forevers is a farce.
A few spared whispers,
A few poems relishing our love.
Complex lines forever immortalizing what?

Distance causing love to wear thing.
Your spouse a denied taboo of conversation.
Relishing in the here and now.
Knowing tomorrow will never be.
Speaking as if miles do not separate us.
Speaking as if no ring on your finger.
Wondering my heart belongs to who?

Knowing your touch will sooth.
Wanting your lips to linger.
Anticipation causing heightened senses.
Leading to a thunderous climax.
Releasing pent up passion.
Releasing our frustration at this.
Physical attraction a horrible pull why?

Longing to knock on your door.
Begging to know your world.
Your wife an annoying obstacle.
A gnat needing extermination.
Shall I take you away as mine.
Shall I take what I know is mine.
Major world shake up on the horizon, but when?
