We Were Alone

My sister and I were alone
Neither of us fully grown
She ran, I recall,
To her room down the hall
That evening when no one was home

Would it happen again like before?
Would I see, from the crack in her door,
A ray of gold light
Like a beacon at night
Falling soft on the dark hallway floor?

I crept just as soft as I could
On floorboards of old creaking wood
With a surge and a flood
Astir in my blood
And feelings not quite understood

All traces of dignity fled
As I peeped with compulsion and dread –
She sat in her chair
Brushing her hair
In flannel pajamas of red

I note how my memory plays
The moment in two different ways –
Out here in the hall
Did a cold terror crawl,
But her room was a warm dreamy haze

Did she glance at my dark hiding place?
Did the hint of a smile touch her face?
When she took off her top
And then let it drop,
Did she want for my heartbeat to race?

Like Pinocchio telling his lies,
My member reached up for the skies –
Never before
Had it protruded more
When her breasts were revealed to my eyes

It hurt with a deep throbbing ache
So rigid I thought it could break
And the only way certain
To stop it from hurtin’
Was to stroke it for all pity’s sake

Now, the scope of the cosmos contracted
To how titties and dick interacted -
Let it grow till it reaches
Those two juicy peaches -
Why else were erections enacted?

My revelries quickly were broken
When I heard that my name had been spoken –
In her eyes I could see
She was looking at me!
Oh, the trouble that I had awoken

Let the angels above strike me dead
For the blame and indictment ahead –
What shame to my clan!
I bolted and ran
As fast as I could to my bed

I knew she would tell Mom and Dad
Of the perverted brother she had
I strained from afar
For the sound of the car
Knowing the scene would be bad

Standing revealed as a beast
I surely would face the police
It would be on the news
And heard in church pews
For decades and decades at least

As I cowered in darkness and wept
My brain could scarcely accept
When by moonlight I viewed
That her chest was still nude
As into my bedroom she crept

“When you watched me, I thought that you knew
That I kinda wanted you to!
So don’t be upset,
Can I lie down and get
Under the covers with you?

Lying with her I caressed
My sister’s sublime little breast
But the sweetest of blisses,
Those soft tender kisses!
And whispers of things hardly guessed

She startled and ran with a moan,
At the sound of our folks coming home
But it wasn’t the end,
It would happen again
On evenings when we were alone

It started with me and my sister
That night in my room when I kissed her
And I tell you, forsooth,
That it’s mostly the truth
But the rest I aint telling you, mister
