but for a fleeting moment memory imposed
those distant yesterdays - those nights of fevered heat
upon today's discrete behaviour! - i'd supposed
the need of passion's throes undone, my life compleat.

until suggestive invitation called to mind
the thrill of past encounters, daunting and obscene,
delightedly succombing - bodies intertwined,
the swell of orgiastic ecstacy between.

and haunted me with notions of a second round,
tho maybe just a taste of lust we used to share.
if only half of pleasures that we had be found
suffice it to undo my celibate despair!

ah sweet content! how swiftly you've adandoned me
for but one fleeting moment spent on fantasy!
