Regular readers will know I have a passion for travelling by train...
NOTHING
EVER QUITE THE SAME AGAIN
We sat
opposite each other
on a fast
train to heaven;
me,
trying not to look too hard
in his
direction;
he,
struggling to resist a glance
too often
in mine
I
couldn’t focus on my book
for the
flames in his hair
torching
every page, setting this
heart of
mine on fire
with
desire, a growing hunger
to kiss a
stranger
In
mischievous sea-blue eyes
I
stripped naked and swam
to a far,
sandy shore, the colour
of his
shirt, sprawled there
in the
sun till he laid his body
down, next
to mine
One hand
caressed my cheek,
the other
stroked my thigh
then he
leaned and kissed me,
our arms
entwining…
his skin
like satin, sex hard,
bold,
exciting
I missed
my station, didn’t care;
as fate
would have it
he did
the same, till we came
to the
end of the line
and he
told me his name,
I told
him mine
Homeward
bound on another train,
nothing
ever quite the same again …
