Today’s Poetry

follow me

“where do you want to go?” i ask

“follow me.” you say

so we drive to the edge of town

somewhere I’ve never been

you come to the car window

lean in

and kiss me

a long, slow, warm kiss

you pull away for the moment

and smile at me

with that wonderful,

beautiful smile

i sit, thrilled

your warm eyes tell

that the kiss

was the right thing to do

you lean in

and kiss me again

the second kiss

better than the first

you smile once again

i want more of you

but I can’t move

and you start to fade

i drift a bit

and then i’m awake

feeling foolish

and regretful

i want to go back

to that other world

and be with you

but I know that it’s wrong

i’m ashamed to want you

ashamed I think of you this way

ashamed to be alone with you

and worried that it means more than it does
