The Vanity of Pleasure
Temptation tingles
I was confused by my desire
I believed the sensual was transcendent
Rising as I did on the waves of want
Seduced by skin
a wanton whisper
A Goddess wrapped in cellophane
Eyes that made me weak in my knees
Feather soft fingertips
Sweet supple lips
Screams of delight
Slipping into tunnels tight
A train on a fast track
Her beneath me on her back
She fed my erupting ego
Made me feel like a man
I was less somehow
but more than my awkward self
First time fast
Captivated by her cyclone power
An attraction distraction
One that could never fulfil
Like trying to extract happy from a pill
My vanity insanity
exercising of my free will
Her name not known
Me just a bit part in her play
The 17 year old kid
That pleasure whisked away.
