desire has a way of coming back (poemoff 2)

desire has a way of coming back (poemoff 2)

at first
only longing
the pitterpatter of heartbeats
like rain on a pane of glass
the electric rush of heat and lust
of fingertips learning and exploring

and then
one night
you're sitting alone together
at a bar
or in the car
and a scruffy faced man walks by
and all you can think is
how deliciously dirty he'd make you feel
or you notice your love's eyes
follow the bob of a blonde ponytail

can i find some place between the love and the fear
to remember all the yesterdays?


The title of this poem comes from " 'CLOSE THE DOORS, YOU UNINITIATED' " by Zack.
