life, lust, love and loss

Angelina was the first; Cold, calculating and cruel
I was naive, in love; an idealistic, romantic fool
Jackie kindly helped to restore my faith and trust
taught me how to please with tongue and every thrust
Clare was sweet and shy; moonlit skinny-dips eased her fears
At 16 I moved away; we parted friends, both shedding tears
Time at college supposedly for 'education and reflection'
reality were parties, alcohol, girls and a constant erection
Enjoyable years spent spreading charm and instruction
My previous experiences meant a queue waiting seduction
Work life provided curious women rather than the hormonal teen
Sharon, Frances, Debbie, Susan and the gorgeous Maureen
Then along came Carrie, charismatic, intelligent with a welcome smile
I fell headlong despite my inner demons' shrieking their denial
We had our fun then Rose moved in and Carrie moved on with a frown
I too moved out with a ballet dancer called Sylvia Brown
We drank and danced, took long walks on the beach and life was fun
Then, by chance, a serious woman named Jacqui entered my world and I was undone
She caused me to quit my job, leave family and friends and leave my neighbourhood
besotted with her charm, moved to be nearer, prepared to start a new life if we could
promised myself to keep her safe, to cherish and love, protect from all
House purchase followed by wedding bells; two young people heading for a fall
times were hard and money tight, we toughed it out; did not fight
but old habits die hard so Sharon followed Tara when 'dick-brain' came to light
closely followed by myopic Michelle, who gave her all and rode like hell
Julie from Aus spent time under - just because … such a sweet angel
my aerobics fitness buddy Christina alerted me to her physical charm
one quiet day at the gym, female showers broke - share mine … where's the harm?
One day, out of a casual conversation, I find a woman with the same addiction
how extraordinary, who knew? Two grown ups with the same affliction
Sexual experimentation in all kinds of ways. Research and practise in 'the lab'
chemistry in action; add a man or woman or the latest new toy … just fab!
friends with benefits just grasping life's pleasure day by day
realizing too late that maybe this love was more than just an easy lay
sadly drifting from each physical orgasmic high looking for something new
if you think lust can replace true love … this is not the life for you.
