A disease has spread,
Stay at home, away from friends,
Distance averts spread...

Ardor, not passion, when it comes to a profession
  Alacrity, not zeal, when it's time for confession...

A Cold Heart
It's a cold, cold heart
 that cannot feel
someone else's pain.

It's a heart without feeling
 that averts its eyes
to the ravishings in the world.

It's a self-centered ego
 that feels the nothing
but its own need to be noticed.

It's the turmoil of the heart and soul
 that never knows
what it is to love....

Sitting all alone,
sipping tea, munching a scone;
elderly woman
in a quiet coffeehouse
looking for conversation.

"That was delicious",
she says to the young server
seemingly busy.
She tries to make eye contact;
the young one averts her gaze.

It's like that most days...
staring at windows and walls.
Human connection:
a rarer commodity
for those who so need it most....

Premium Member Sweet Surrender
In low cut shirts and mini-skirts
she pesters passions through the day,
but my advances she averts
while still continuing her flirts,
she leaves me longing love’s ballet.

But daylight wanes and fades to night,
the thoughts of lustful love turn tender,
and with the bedroom drapes drawn tight
she wryly winks and lowers light,
and gives herself in sweet surrender.
