So, you don’t want to hurt anyone?
As if that does any good
As if skirting the question makes the answer
Better understood
You see through your prism
This unblemished vision of her:
Yours, until the vision grows
Insensibly obscure
But how are you to so impassively dismiss
The frail intensity of that initial kiss--
The way you laid your hand upon her blushing face?
You’re not ashamed to relish any lingering trace
. . . . . . . . .
If I speak in the tenderest terms
Will you promise not to wince?
I know that the pragmatist squirms
At such unruly sentiments
And maybe I’m useful
Only for a few good laughs
Near worthless when you’ve laid me out
On charts and graphs
But how am I to so impassively dismiss
The frail intensity of that initial kiss--
The way you laid your hand upon my blushing face?
I’m not ashamed to relish any lingering trace
