Promise II - The Start

He kept her steady on his arm, while she
Allowed his gentle hands to touch her hair;
The feelings were intense; she could not be
More pleased to know the start of their affair
Would mean her breathing quick and finding how
His tongue felt in her mouth for the first time;
She wanted him – she needed him - right now
The rapid palpitations all incline
Her heart to pump out love and pledge her need
In flushing bursts; so he cannot resist
The thought that, when he touched her curls, he freed
The broody contradictions that he kissed
Away, before she lost that fatal charm
And left him holding nothing on his arm.
