The following poem came into my head about a week ago. Let me assure the
net.singles crowd that this is not based on an actual incident, and that I'm
not sure I entirely understand the poem myself; I just offer it for your
interest and enjoyment:
ROMANTIC INTERLUDE
She took a step
ahead, into the woods, and walked
greenly in the shadow of the young trees.
The heat of her hair faded to highlights.
She paused and turned;
her eyes showed me her unvoiced screams.
I stumbled
forward, took her shoulders,
then crushed her petite fragility to my broad chest.
Our kiss was rapturous torment,
for I knew not whether I would quiet her screams
or increase them beyond all bearing.
