Eyes lust locked.
We contemplate the next move.
Neither planned on being here.
Together. 

We have our together.
In other lives.
In listless love.
Apart.

Hesitant touches.
Seasoned with want and guilt
We exhaust the whys.
Nots.

Breathless.
We draw breath together.
Having chosen with our bodies.
Yes.

  4. What a cool poem! It beautifully describes a momentary encounter. I love the word tryst. For some reason, it just seems so perfect to describe this event. Nice one.
