did we not
on a rain-sent summer's day
sky filled with thunder
hide beneath your bolero
ground wet with rain


inquisitive man
that you were then
kissing first my eyelids
then slowly but surely
you kissed my lips
pressing your warm body
next to my own


you trespassed slowly
growing bolder
with each whimpering sound
that found it's way
up to my throat
somehow you never
noticed i was crying


did we not
discardng your damp bolero
wonder when the rain had stopped
rolling in the wet grass
your laughter filling the air
i fully realized
what i had only sensed before


it wasn't me
who filled your soul with longing
it wasn't me
who filled your heart with joy
you called me by another
woman's name more times
than i care to remember
so much for rain-sent summer days

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Faith this was a beautful poem and I can relate especially to -

you called me by another
woman's name more times
than I care to remember

A sad vignette and well-written, well communicated...

Not so fun being treated as a temporary toy, especially in such a superb setting, or what should be so. We somehow have to be able to tell the worthy from the unworthy regardless of milieu.

Oh I like this very much, the angst of it all is painful for sure.  
Although I sense a rainbow in the making from the tears and the rain falling.

Great poem, Faith~

The poem was sweet and sad for such a men to not notice something loving as you by his side. Simply enjoyed.
