We Talked for Ages

Trev Teasdel 1985

We talked for ages
I fondled your mind
till your thoughts became firm.
That night
I unzipped all your secrets -
the ones you show to no-one.
I penetrated
your emotional virginity.

You bled a little
I held your hand
I was trying hard
not to fall in love.
You had told me
you were not ready
for-love-again-so-soon.
I discovered a thousand trips ropes
strung around your body and your mind.

It was inevitable
that I would fall
eventually
headlong into that well of love.
Helpless
I hit the bottom -
found no water there to soften the blow
when your eyes
Told me NO!.......................
