The Smallest Spaces
Gently,
by your wet umbrella
we pause at the creak of a board
Trapped hurt holding breath
in the cupboard under the stairs
the terror of carelessness
giggles overheard
In semi darkness
a rogue wave forms
hits the beach
tearing buttons in a moment
frenzy foaming on cresting eye
Impossible positions beckon
our fumbles a threesome with the hoover
we can't ignore
now the time for dares is over
Outside,
while the party dies
'Albatross' on vinyl softly storms
fuelling flights of fancy
with fresh ripe fruit
and woozy wine
Only I,
knew the bruise on your thigh
fading secretly 'till now
the sweetest salt stolen
to be devoured with our slice
of forever
And poor Sean,
would have killed us
if he'd known
how tightly you held that door
to shut out unwanted worlds
then calmly fixed your hair
blaming it all
on Tequila
by your wet umbrella
we pause at the creak of a board
Trapped hurt holding breath
in the cupboard under the stairs
the terror of carelessness
giggles overheard
In semi darkness
a rogue wave forms
hits the beach
tearing buttons in a moment
frenzy foaming on cresting eye
Impossible positions beckon
our fumbles a threesome with the hoover
we can't ignore
now the time for dares is over
Outside,
while the party dies
'Albatross' on vinyl softly storms
fuelling flights of fancy
with fresh ripe fruit
and woozy wine
Only I,
knew the bruise on your thigh
fading secretly 'till now
the sweetest salt stolen
to be devoured with our slice
of forever
And poor Sean,
would have killed us
if he'd known
how tightly you held that door
to shut out unwanted worlds
then calmly fixed your hair
blaming it all
on Tequila

Very sexy. I find the idea of infidelity and secrecy so very alluring, but not for myself. It's way more interesting from the perspective of the female involved. Well done.
