Tempted

You smile to me across the room
Rub knees beneath the table
I really should restrain myself
But, don’t believe I’m able

We meet in early morning light
Stand touching in the rain
The scent of droplets on your skin
I really can’t refrain

When evening comes I am with you
Imagine my full delight
Your rose and coral tinted skin
Painted by candle light
