SWIFT SEDUCTION

The seconds were precious

All precautions had lapsed

The moment they kissed

She felt her legs collapse .

“Hold on now honey – we’ve got forever

To last.”

Only disavowal to pretend...

she knew her innocence

had past.

“Don’t predict our Fate

it's all just a farse!

And with that she succumbed...

The Trouble her mother once warned of
had now begun!

This one is a winner in my book. I cannot choose favorite lines because they are all equally as good. I have this feeling that you will revise and update this poem in your quest for perfection, so I will watch for changes. Always, Cat
