No Touch Thus Taken

He was just sixteen and she only twenty-one

but he rocked her world to galaxies unknown.

They barely spoke and never touched but

she knew he could see her soul.

In the day he approached her with ruses

disguised by roses so their bodies would be near.

But when night appeared his schemes once thought

foolish made her cracked life whole.

Their forbidden infatuation lasted for

only weeks of four. Victims of summertime lust.

Throughout the rhythmic heat their

sinsual sound was their only tone.

For a time being their desire was their home.

The years have passed and their tainted love

has gone. Him finding comfort with young beauty

and her with rugged handsomeness are

the lives they have sewn.

They barley spoke and never touched but even

with these passing times the sound of her

voice or the mention of his name

still makes their bodies moan.
