The next man Sept. 13, 2012

 

The next man

Is always

The lucky man

Dipping his wick

Into still pure water,

Which each of

The rest of us

Despoils over time

Having ruined

What we saw as

Perfection,

Perhaps our lust

Makes her luster so,

The glint we see

In her eyes,

The soft touch

We anticipate

When we stroke

Her breasts

It is all so new

Before we get

To touch or taste,

Nothing to disappoint us

When we finally do,

Except our own

Sad ambition,

The desire to

Contain the butterfly

We so admire

From afar,

Some things are best

Left to wander fee,

To contain them

Is to ruin them,

A lesson we must learn

She needs what she needs

To be free to

Spread her wings

Without someone

Pinning them down
