These Rogue Thoughts

Written June 9, 2009

I’m destroying something good here.
Heart pounding, breath short—
for words I cannot speak,
for a place I cannot go.

(Can the world stop for a moment?)

A burning, nervous passion—
lit by these rogue thoughts!
Even behind closed doors,
I cannot but whisper this.

(Let’s forget society for a while.)

You are my forbidden desire.
Would you take this deviant leap,
and seek pleasure with me?
We won’t speak a word to them.

(Must this ever be known?)

So let’s go, let’s go—
before time starts again.
We can be united, for now,
before we must separate again.
