The love we make need not last
I bite my lips and shift my hips.
You touch my hair with your fingertips.
My inner thoughts are on display
Your kind attention will soon repay.
Futures made or futures lost?
I give my hair a playful toss.
I touch your arm and then I sigh.
You placed your hand upon my thigh.
The kind of man you seem to be
is the kind of man who’s right for me.
The love we make need not last for life.
I have no desires to become a wife.

Author's Note
Love happens fast sometimes. I wrote this after meeting a new man recently. Our relationship, though passionate, will remain casual and I think we’re both happy with that.

It is better to have a lover rather than a traditional couple without an iota of love and passion. Well worded.

Couldn't agree with you more. As long as our love lasts, we will enjoy it. If it ends, we'll treasure the memories.

I enjoyed this piece. The picture you painted in the first two stanzas was a titillating portrait of fun and romance; and I loved the honest ending.
You are a talented writer.
So many of the photos which accompany your poems are deeply personal, and I appreciate the info you often provide about them. How did you select the photo for this poem?

This was a cropped image of my ex-husband and I from a photo shoot before our divorce. I thought it was a strange choice, but fit the "not lasting" part of the poem and I liked the tenderness of the kiss.

A picture of fun and romance, to quote RPM1on1. Like the merry rhyme scheme, I could visualise the lovemaking.

The best love is always the kind that's open to all sorts of possibilities.
