''When Platonic Best Friends Are Tempted''

A woman friend, of gorgeous pulchritude,
     presents a man with an experience
of nervous, elated, erotic mood:—
     to him it's a most welcomed "hinderance."

A guy friend of strong, chiseled, sexy good looks,
     makes a woman self-conscious and confused,
when reading, "Fifty Shades of Grey," (soft-**** books)
     and thinking of him while fully aroused. 

They both may think of the possibilities,
     and then wonder: "What can it hurt...if we cross 
that line?" But is it worth the realities,
     the risks, and the very real, potential loss

of a friendship? Best friends may be real fine,
but is it worth a hay roll (on Cloud Nine)?
