She says, “soon I will stop this”.

“Why do I engage

With a girl only half my age?.

Must I forever kiss

Lips which yearn to turn from me?

 

 

I am no devil

And perhaps at a certain level

She likes me.

 

 

In her deep sleep I see

Her in her vulnerability

And find the tenderness in me.

 

There is no true bliss

In her reluctant kiss.

But gold may hold sway

Tomorrow as with today.”
