First And Not Our Second Thoughts Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Let's romance our first,
And not our second thoughts of love.
To maybe caused and tossed about,
By doubt.
Kept to keep in a closet.
Fearing them to come out.

We now can embrace,
And warm those frosted shoulders.
To do away with a pretense meant,
That would leave others unaware...
And convinced,
Far from us are those wanted wild desires.

I want to be with you naked or clothed.
Showing together with it known to expose,
I love the kissing of your lips.
Your touch and hugs,
Whenever I can get them.

Let's romance our first,
And not our second thoughts of love.
To maybe caused and tossed about,
By doubt.

I know what I see to me revealed.
And hard it is,
To keep what we know denied.
Isn't it?
